We hope you are all keeping well and had a nice weekend.
Since our last announcement we have been in continued discussions with regulatory authorities, landowners, stake holders and event partners around ways to implement measures to safely host this February’s event with the safety and well-being of all involved being our utmost priority.
Whilst we have coordinated plans to safely host this February’s event, Omicron cases have now sky rocketed around New Zealand and as a result the vast majority of the population have become concerned about traveling further than they need to other than for essential requirements in case they are required to self isolate in the event of being a close or casual contact with some one with COVID-19.
As a result, the last two weeks, most of those who had pre registered for this February’s event have been in touch and asked for their race entry to be transferred to Saturday 12th November 2022.
We appreciate this isn’t the news you want to hear however we are deeply devastated to inform you that this February’s event has now been postponed to Saturday 12th November 2022.
With the nature of this mountain running event taking place in an Alpine Environment, the landscape and terrain are deemed not safe to host this kind of event during winter or early spring, therefore this event will take place during it’s normal November scheduling when the weather is more suitable for this type of event.
On a positive note, our borders will be open later in the year and there will be more certainty from the New Zealand Government with regards to COVID-19 mandates.
The event team are absolutely gutted not to be able to host the event as we were so looking forward to spending time preparing the courses as the event takes place in such a magical location, but most importantly welcoming you to the event and sharing the adventure and experience with you.
Everyone who has registered for this February’s event will have their race entries automatically transferred to Saturday 12th November 2022. An email has been sent to all registered participants.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Is is really appreciated.
In the mean time, look after yourselves, stay active and we will keep you posted with further updates.
Keep on Running!
Adrian and the team at Active QT

*Mt Isthmus Traverse – postponed to Saturday 26th February 2022
I hope you are keeping well and staying active.
At todays COVID-19 press conference the New Zealand Government announced the next stage of the COVID-19 response plan by developing a new Traffic Light system to replace the current Alert Level way of life as we know it.
From our understanding having read the latest Ministry of Health Guidelines and listened to the the latest updates, Auckland will remain in Alert Level 3 and the rest of the country in Alert Level 2 for the time being. Once 90% of the population of those whom reside in each of the regional DHB’s have been fully vaccinated, each region will enter in to the new Traffic Light system.
With the above information at hand, adhering to government regulations, guidelines and the health, safety and wellbeing of participants and all involved with the event, it deeply saddens us to inform you that this years Mt Isthmus Traverse event on Saturday 13th November 2021 has been postponed to Saturday 26th February 2022.
We know this isn’t the news you wanted to hear and appreciate it is terribly frustrating however the current situation is out of our control.
All participants registered to date will have their race entries automatically transferred to Saturday 26th February 2022. If you cannot attend the rescheduled event your race entry will be transferred to next years annual event on Saturday 12th November 2022 or an alternative Active QT event in 2022.
On a more positive note, you now have more time for training and will be even better prepared for an adventure in the mountains in Lake Hawea during the summer of 2022.
In the mean time, stay active and we will keep you posted with further updates.

Today the New Zealand Government announced that all of New Zealand with the exception of Auckland remaining in Alert Level 3 will remain at Alert Level 2 for the time being and a new ‘Traffic Light’ system replacing the current Alert Level system will be announced at the next Government press conference at 10:00am on Friday 22nd October 2021
At this stage this years event is still scheduled for Saturday 13th November 2021.
Whilst in continued consultation with regulatory authorities, stakeholders and sponsors around this years event, decisions made by the Government around the new traffic light system, information relating to events and mass gatherings won’t available until after the next Government announcement on Friday 22nd October 2021.
This event can only take place in Alert Level 1 when mass gatherings over 100 people are legally permitted.
If the event has to be re-scheduled to a later date we will endeavour to notify participants as soon as possible and participants event entries will simply be transferred to the re-scheduled event. If a registered participant cannot attend the re-scheduled event their event entry will automatically be transferred to the following year’s event.
At the next Government announcement on Friday 22nd October 2021 we will hopefully have clearer understanding around the new Traffic Light system and guided accordingly.
In the mean time, stay active and we will keep you posted with further updates.
