We want to thank all our amazing Volunteers and so does Crombie Lockwood Wanaka our fabulous Volunteer Sponsor. Here is a wee message from their team to you all - "As we look back on a successful event, we want to shout out to all of the incredible volunteers who were involved. The festival could not have happened without your support.⁠
⁠
"From packing registration bags, setting up the course, facilitating aid stations, and tidying up afterwards, volunteers were on hand at every stage of the way and it made Challenge Wanaka a fantastic event to be part of.⁠
⁠
"As the event’s volunteer sponsor, we’re incredibly proud to have been involved and were blown away by the commitment made by so many. It’s a real testament to the community spirit here in Wanaka, and we’re thrilled to be part of that community.⁠
⁠
"Every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Time is a valuable possession, and we believe giving time is one of the most meaningful ways to give back, so thank you and congratulations on a job well done. Thank you from the Crombie Lockwood Wanaka team."⁠

Fancy a Paddle on 30th October? Come join us at the Challenge Wanaka Multi!

The awesome team from @dunlopbuilders Builders, @tekakano and our Challenge Wanaka Board Members and staff have been busy planting native trees! 80 in fact! Dunlop Builders won the Corporate race and as a prize Te Kakano & Challenge Wanaka provided them plants for them to give back to the Wānaka community. But not satisfied with that they then doubled the quota themselves and got their team involved. Awesome work Dunlop and Te Kakano! The Challenge Wanaka team are so proud to have Te Kakano as one of our official charities which we give funds to every year. #givingback Lake Wanaka

Why not start your multi sport season racing in beautiful Lake Wānaka? After the success of the inaugural Challenge Wanaka Multi in 2020, the event will be back on 30th October 2021! This season opener features a 25km kayak, 43km mountain bike and a 12km trail run. Paddlers traverse Lake Wānaka from the new Watersports Centre, down the Clutha River to just before the Red Bridge. Passing through Albert Town and a few technical river features. Then onto the Mountain Bike leg along the Newcastle Track, onto Dean’s Bank and out to Lake Hawea and back down via the Hawea River track to transition by the Albert Town Bridge. The spectacular run course is along the Clutha River and Lake front back to the Water Sports Centre to a fantastic finish line atmosphere.⁠

We hope to welcome you to Lake Wānaka this coming October!

We want to say a massive thanks to John and Emily

We want to say a massive thanks to John and Emily McRae, their family and team at Glendhu Station for allowing us to host our event at this amazing venue. Just look at this pic! John and Emily shy away from the limelight, but the work they are doing at Glendhu Bay we believe needs to be celebrated. ALL the venue fee we pay them, goes back into native planting on the land! They are regenerating the property for the future and we just love that the Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka team and all our competitors have helped give something back to keep our beautiful Lake Wanaka beautiful.
