Roger & David
April 7, 2017
Roger and David have left their run right to the end, joining just 40 hours before the race!! They are no easy beats however....... Roger has run the course both forwards and backwards, so kind of knows what he's up to. David has been laid off running at the moment, so is no...
Dave & Tim
March 15, 2017
Dave (running) and Tim (biking) join the challenge from Mike Greer Homes in Christchurch. Dave lost a bet, and having already pawned the children he really had no other option. We're told his hobbies include stamp collecting, chess, and scrap booking the Royal Family photos...

Gareth & Chavo
Stepping up to represent the mighty St. Pats are Gareth and Chavo. Gareth is taking on the bike leg, mainly because he's a good bugger and really couldn't think of an excuse not to. He's also putting a shout out to borrow a bike for the day – apparently he doesn't think th...

A Rotary Club has accepted the Waimate challenge and joined the race! Leon (running) and Aydan (biking) are members of the Next Rotary Generation (NRG) Club Invercargill which has the scary claim of having an average age of 28, and 80% female membership – not your typical ...
