Gearshop Adventure Racing

Big weekend of racing at the for the Gearshop crew a few weeks ago!

The 24hr race kicked off in Kaikōura with a fast paced bike ride before heading into the mountains for a trekking/packrafting stage. This involved lots of river bed walking followed by a long Clarence River packraft. The course finished up with a rogaine and short bike leg to the finish.

Team Gearshop took out 1st place in the premier mixed category after a strong all-round performance across the course.

Gearshop Bomb Squad finished strong taking out 4th place in the premier mixed category. The teams crossed paths out on the course.

It was also awesome to see all generations getting involved. Sakkie's team 3 Generations raced the 3hr event. He raced it along with his son Mahi (age 9) & Colin (age 72, grandad). Sakkie's daughter also raced. Mason, Dean’s son stepped up to race in the 12hr school teams event.

Thanks to the Kaikoura Adventure Race for putting on another great event for all ages and abilities.
