PRIZE GIVING, LUNCH, & ACTIVITIES

PRIZEGIVING

Our generous sponsors and partners have provided some magnificent spot prizes for us to give out on event day. These will be given out as participants cross the finish line at random.

We will be doing 2 prizegiving’s to recognize our event winners.

Prize giving for the MTB events will take place at event base at 12:30pm

Prize Giving for the Run/Walk events will take place at 3:00pm.

Trophies will be awarded for over-all race winners in each event option. Thanks to Hodderville Farms we will also be presenting 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall with a native plant to either take home or donate back to the Waikato River Trails Trust.

In addition, a MAJOR SPOT PRIZE will also be up for grabs at prize giving so hang around to be in to win!

Good luck everyone!

Note: All finishers will receive one of these amazing medals at the finish line.
