About .3

From the team that delivers the Contact Epic and the old M2M, we how have a new event on the calendar.

Due to issues around consessions at Treble Cone Ski Field which where beyond our control we were unable to race the M2M so have developed a new course, new concept and a new Wanaka race for our M2M competitors.

Its a 5 stage unassisted Multi Sport Race starting and finishing at Glendhu Bay. The legs are very achievable and is a great chance to prepare and practice for those summer events or just a fun day out with friends, workmates or family.

This event is for teams and individuals who Run, Road Bike, Run, Kayak or Swim and then Mountain Bike to the finish. A permanent unassisted transition center is set up at Glendhu Bay which allows for great spectator viewing and involvement.

Whether you want a good day out as an individual or a fun and fast team event, then come and be part of this new race.
