#challengewanaka

World’s most scenic triathlon in New Zealand’s spectacular Southern Alps. #triathlon #challengewanaka #newzealand

We are thrilled to announce Rebecca Clarke @beccla

We are thrilled to announce Rebecca Clarke @becclarke_tri as the first of our exciting Pro field for 2022 🙌 Rebecca is now a Wānaka local and we are very very lucky to have her in our community! It will be Rebecca's fourth Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka and we can't wait to see her out there on our revised course. Rebecca will be taking over our instagram this Saturday as we “Run the Course” at @BikeGlendhu before the riders hit the tracks! Make sure you tune in then!⁠
⁠
“I’m excited to race at the Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka Half in 2022,” said Rebecca, “"Returning to the Glendhu Bay venue where the swim course is stunning and the run course is challenging! All the best parts of the old bike course are back with the leg out to Hāwea and back over the red bridge. I've been living in Wānaka the last 6 months and it's been an awesome training playground. I know the bike course very well now so I'm looking forward to using that experience to race well on it in February! The Challenge Wanaka team always puts on a great event and I can't wait to race!”

RUN THE PARK! As in Bike Glendhu! Did you know that on the Saturday 4th December you can run the Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka run course at 7am in the morning before the park opens for bikes!! We CANNOT wait! All you have to do is pay $10 on the day, which goes to the Bike Glendhu planting promise. A programme where they are restoring native plants in the area, how cool is that?

“The beauty of the @wanakamedical Social Triathlon this year, was so many people got to try something new like Aquarobics and loved it,” said Bill Roxburgh, Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka Race Director. “You know you have had a great event when everyone smiles their way around the course and the camaraderie was huge amongst the group. We would like to challenge everyone who came this year to bring a friend next year and let’s share this fun with even more of our Wānaka whānau.”⁠
⁠
The event will be held on 13th February 2022 and open to over 23 year olds. People can ride any type of bike they would like, including e-bikes. Entry fees have been kept as low as possible to encourage participation, costing $25 which includes a Keep Cup, a reusable drink bottle, coffee or tea, lunch, pool entry and water and fruit at the finish of the event. ⁠

The incredibly fun and inclusive event, the @wanak

The incredibly fun and inclusive event, the @wanakamedical Social Triathlon will be hosted for a second year on 13th February 2022. Wanaka Medical Centre and the Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka team are thrilled to be hosting this event, which everyone can participate in and gives people the opportunity to get fit for an achievable goal. ⁠
⁠
“The Wanaka Medical Centre see this as a fantastic opportunity for people to get out there and enjoy some healthy exercise, as well as meet new people in their community,” said Dr Andrew McLeod, Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka Trustee, local GP and talented Age Group Triathlete. “The purpose of the Challenge Wanaka Sports Trust is to give back to the people of Wānaka and we feel this event is very important activity to help some of our locals keep positive and motivated, especially in these uncertain times. Although the event is based around a triathlon, there was no competition and completing the course is a lot of fun and provides a great sense of accomplishment for many people.” ⁠
⁠
The social event consists of a 15 minute pool swim or 30 minutes Aquarobics or 30 minute Pilates at the Wanaka Recreation centre, followed by a Coffee or Tea. Then a non-competitive social ride from the Recreation Centre to Albert Town and along on a beautiful ride to the Watersports centre for a lunch kindly prepared by the Aspiring Rotary club, which is included in the entry fee. Then onto the final challenge a 2.5 km walk along the Waterfall Creek track and back to the finish, totalling 5km.⁠
