About the Race

Going into its 9th year, the Cure Kids Great Adventure Race has made its mark as a thrilling multi-discipline event in both the North and South Islands. Challenging and rewarding, this 6- 9 hour race requires competitors to navigate, bike, traverse waterways and run in teams of 4 with a support crew of 4 to help fundraise and assist all the way to the finish line.

Race Director Alan Nelson created the Cure Kids Great Adventure Race concept and has directed the race since its inception. Alan has an excellent reputation in the world of multisport.

The race is developed to appeal to novice adventure racers but also challenges experienced racers to test their limits. New race courses are designed every year to ensure each event is fresh, unique and presents that “journey of discovery” nature of adventure racing. Spectacular areas within our national and regional parks are selected and combined wherever possible with the special opportunity to explore adjoining private lands.

A few words from our supporters...

	No matter how hard the event was on the day, the hours of training, etc all seems to fall by the side when you see the kids this helps. Being part of making a difference is all the reward anyone could want…What the kids and their families go through on a daily basis is something nobody can really understand. I’d encourage you all to be part of this life changing day! Murray Davison (Accor)
	I feel so lucky to have been part of such an amazing day!! What we went through is NOTHING compared to what some of the sick kids go through on a day-to-day basis. Trudy Burt (Mainfreight)
	We were really impressed with how well organised the event was…those of our team who are experienced multi-sport eventers have commented on how much they appreciated the level of organization you achieved on the day. It was truly moving to see so many businesses put so much time and effort into bringing their people together to raise money for the sole aim of improving the quality of life of kiwi children facing major health issues every day.
