Rangitikei Adventure Race

Set around the stunning Rangitikei River, this is a very scenic adventure taking you into some of the best back country hill stations in the lower North Island.
This year the Rangitikei Adventure Race will include a 6hr duathlon and 12hr paddling and duathlon options and all will be run in a rogaine style format. This means you can collect as many or as few checkpoints as you want or are able to according to your team’s ability within the 6 or 12 hours.
If you are new to AR then you may only want to collect 4-5 checkpoints per stage and cruise around the course, if you are more competitive you may want to try and clear the course.
If you have always wanted to step up in race duration, this is the perfect opportunity to do that as you make it as easy or challenging as you chose. If you'd like to paddle the Rangitikei but don't have your own packraft there is the opportunity to hire rafts with a guide to get you safely down the river.
Strategise and race to your strengths to maximise your points, whether that be in the trekking legs or on the mountain bike stages.

You can race in 2's, 3's or 4's with the mixed four person 12 hour paddling competition being the premier event in the National A1 Series.
