RACE AND EVENT OVERVIEW:

Do you live for a good weekend… for the opportunity to escape the shackles of everyday life, to get some fresh air, mix with some mates, tackle a challenge and enjoy an adventure? If this sounds like you then welcome to your nirvana.

Held as part of the five event Anaconda Adventure Race International Series, this new event for New Zealand brings you all that is great about being outdoors + active and rolls it into an event that everyone can be part of.

Taking place in and around the iconic township to Waihi at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula, the Anaconda Adventure Race New Zealand (AARNZ) will take you on an unforgettable adventure from the coast at Waihi Beach to the rim of the mighty Martha Mine and our spectacular finish line in central Waihi. Along the way you will run along remote rocky coastlines, along cliff tops and down hidden beaches; mountain bike along rolling single track and quaint country roads; paddle on a scenic inland waterway and swimming in one of the most picturesque bays imaginable.

Combine all this with an adventure expo with plenty of kids entertainment, sponsors stands, race commentary, event bar, food and more all at the Adventure Expo in Waihi and you are set for an awesome weekend. This is one hell of an event.

You can GO THE DISTANCE.

Choose your style and get involved - the Anaconda Adventure Race can be completed in a range of categories to get anyone and everyone to the start, and then over the finish line:

  • Individuals – do every leg as a non stop race around the track. Designed for every one from heros and want-to-bes
  • Pairs – do every leg in the company of your mate who’s by your side the whole way round
  • Relay teams – with up to 4 people where you do one (or more) legs each. A great way to get involved without being a super hero – build up a team of friends and work colleagues and join all the fun
