Other questions
The course follows bushy tracks and open ground with some climbing and descending, so grippy trail or cross-country shoes are a sensible choice, especially if the tracks are wet.
Khandallah School sits in the Wellington suburb of Khandallah. Local buses serve the suburb and there is street parking around the school, though it fills quickly on event morning.
The event runs on exposed hill tracks, so come prepared for wind and rain. Any decision to postpone or cancel would be posted on the event website and Facebook page.
There will be no registrations on the day.
Unfortunately this track is NOT suitable for buggies. If you are taking a preschooler on this challenge, have provisions for being able to carry them.
