Multisport event this weekend


Sorry everyone I was supposed to post this last week.

Our Good mates from the Wairarapa Multisport Club have pulled this event out of the hat.


Basically it's based around the Whareama River Race Kayak course that's been held for the last two years...but wait there's more.....they've added a 44 km cycle ride to get to the river.....this starts from Henley Lake in Masterton. After the cycle then it's the 14 km out and back course on the tidal Whareama River....you can paddle a kayak, surf ski, waka ama, or stand up paddle board for this leg.......or drive your car out and just enter the paddle section ! If you are in multisport mode...you've done the bike, then paddle leg now it's just the 16 km run over undulating Farmland to finish at the Riversdale Surf Life Saving Club.


There is also a biathlon option which means you just proceed from bike to run at Whareama.


The event has been set up quite quickly but I can see this one really taking off just like the Akitio Challenge did back in the 90's.


So if you're at a loose end this weekend and need to sharpen up for the Coast to Coast...hussle yourself over the Rimutaka's and get some extra conditioning work in.
