Macpac Photography and Story competition

Fantastic Macpac Void Down Vest to be won for the best shot, and the best story on both the 8hr and 24hrs races. Send us your pix, and story, and be in to win your prize
 

New start time for the 8hr event

Due to a forecast of Nortwesters on Saturday morning, we think it would be prudent to bring the start time by a couple of hours, and possibly avoid strongs winds for the kayak leg. New start time for the Macpac 8hr Adventure Challenge: 8am
 

Next week end!

A reminder registration is at the Queenstown Event Centre, from 6pm to 8pm, and you can still enter on the day. Prize giving on Sunday at the Dux de Lux in Queenstown!
