The Trampers Challenge is a multi-sport event that the WTMC has run for just over 10 years now. The start/finish is Bishops Park, Eastbourne. This year, the event is scheduled for Sunday 15 April: registration starts at 8am, race briefing is at 8.45am and the race begins at 9am.
The event involves:
? 5km kayak around Ward Island.
? 6km run in the Butterfly Creek Area.
? 20km mountain bike to Pencarrow Lighthouse and back.

You can enter as an individual or a team. Entry is free. Kayak hire (if required) is $15 per person thanks to a great discount from Fergs Rock N Kayaks. Two teams can share a single kayaker. You can choose to paddle a single kayak or you may wish to join another team/individual in a double. Confirmation of kayak hire is required by 5th April.

Fancy dress is highly encouraged with a prize for the best dressed. Other tramping clubs from Wellington, the Hutt Valley and the Wairarapa are being invited to enter teams as well so there is bound to be a bit on inter-club rivalry. Post challenge fun includes prize giving and a BYO BBQ.

Prizes have been donated by our sponsors ? Bivouac/Outdoor and Mainly Tramping.

If you?re not able to compete but would like to lend a hand prior to the event, or on the day there?s a plenty of tasks you can help with that don?t require a huge amount of effort ? e.g. timekeeping on the day.
