Welcome to the registration system for the first ever Black Bridge Back Paddock Blitz! Thank you for getting this far!
We hope this event showcases the beautiful Cape Kidnappers Coast and lower Tuki Tuki Valley, and you enjoy the ever-changing autumnal outlooks over vineyards, olive groves and orchards alongside the beautiful Tuki Tuki River, overlooked by Te Mata Peak.
We have two routes planned (unless you're a kid) which are both 6.71-ish km. One is the morning loop all on one side of the river, and one is the afternoon/evening loop and that's something to look forward to - beeeeautiful! All you have to do is get back to base camp before the 1 hour hooter hoots, then it's rinse and repeat.
Whether you're a weekend warrior, just giving a lap a go, or an elite athlete, we all start together every hour, so the banter is Gooood.
Kids (under 12), it's a 1.25km loop for you, with a 12min cut-off and restart period. All easily viewed by your adult humans. Adult chaperones welcome, but everyone on the course must have registered.
All entrants not participating in the kids event must be checked in and at the safety briefing at 8.40am sharp on Sat 26 April. Camping on Friday night is available on site - email for details. Kids safety briefing will be at 1pm.
This is real grassroots stuff! We give you the opportunity to use a Pay What You Want (PWYW) format, to make this event totally accessible to all.
PYWY gives the entrant the opportunity to pay a price fair to you for participating in such an event, taking into account the efforts of the organisers to get something like this off the ground.
As I guide, I like to pay $50 if I reckon I'll acheive a 50km run. For lesser distances, maybe $30 is a fair price. Compare that to some of your other event entry fees lately!
Of course, if you really enjoy the atmosphere and the efforts gone to, you might want to pay some now, and pay some later - the choice is yours...
Payment is to:
