LATEST UPDATES QUEENSTOWN VERTICAL CHALLENGE

Thursday 18th August 2022

TWO days to go!!!

Planning ahead… Whilst we’d love to say its going to be a bluebird day on Saturday, we can’t promise anything but you never know! 

Right now the forecast is for rain and whilst it might not be so cold at the bottom of Deer Park Heights it might be a different story at the top!

With the nature of the event taking place in an alpine environment we want you to be ready.

Please make sure you leave a small drop bag at the event registration near to the entrance of Deer Park Heights containing warm clothes for the event team team or your support fans to take to the finish line.

If the weather does take a turn for the worst on Saturday morning there’s a good chance we will start all three events at the same time at 10:00am therefore we want everyone to have collected their race numbers by 9:30am and ready for an events briefing at 9:45am. 

We will make the call approx 9am on Saturday morning so everyone has plenty of time to get ready, although it won’t take long for you to warm up once you start running up hill!

All support vehicles will need to leave the parking area near to the entrance of Deer Park Heights / Start Line at 9:45am prior to the event starting to make sure they get to the top of Deer Park Heights – park up and walk very short distance to the finish line to cheer on the runners. 

All those driving up to the finish line – please drive slowly, allow plenty of space between vehicles and don’t stop. Whatever the conditions please put your lights on if your vehicle doesn’t have daytime running lights.

Righto, keep watching this page for further updates. Rest up!
