Who wants to do the Speights Coast To Coast with me in February 2014?

I may be able to get a FREE ENTRY to this very expensive and highly regarded event and I am wanting to see if anyone is keen to form a team of either 2 or 3 people and complete the course over 2 days. I stress at this stage it is not confirmed as I need to know which race category to request as a freebie; the normal entry fee is over $2200 per team.

I would do the 33km mountain run section and need someone who has, or can acquire, a Grade 2 kayaking certificate, plus someone else for the cycling sections if we do this as a team of three. The race involves:

3km run/55km cycle – person A
33km mountain run – me
15km bike/800mt run/67km kayak – person A
70km cycle – me

or the above with a third person who does all the cycle sections plus the 3km and 800mt runs.

See http://www.coasttocoast.co.nz for further information.

Although I may be able to get a free entry to the race all travel/accommodation/food costs etc….are out of your own pocket.

If you wish to express an interest in this please email me at

Particularly keen to hear from any kayakers with the necessary certificate or the intention of getting one – for info on this please see http://www.coasttocoast.co.nz/website/kayak_regs.php

PLEASE NOTE THE FREE ENTRY HAS NOT YET BEEN CONFIRMED AND IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN THEN I WONT BE ENTERING.
