243km. Two days. One finish line | Coast-to-Coast New Zealand

243km. Two Days, One Finish line We’re proud to share that our teammate Jim will be taking on the legendary Coast to Coast New Zealand this February. One of the world’s longest-running multisport events, Coast to Coast covers an incredible 243 km over two days, crossing New Zealand from west to east. The journey begins on the black sands of the wild West Coast, where athletes start on foot, running inland through rugged, windswept terrain before transitioning to their bikes along the Taramakau River toward the foothills of the Southern Alps. From there, competitors face the first true test of the race: a demanding 30.5 km off-trail run through rocky riverbeds, multiple icy river crossings, and nearly 800 m of elevation gain to Goat Pass. Even for the fastest athletes, this section alone can take close to three hours, challenging strength, coordination, and resilience as much as speed. A short 15 km ride leads into the second jewel of the course, the mighty Waimakariri River. Spanning 70 km of braided channels and dramatic gorges, this iconic river stage is both a highlight and a decisive moment of the race, blending calm stretches with swift currents and grade-2 rapids. From the heart of the Southern Alps, athletes emerge onto the Canterbury Plains, where a final 70 km ride stands between them and the finish line at New Brighton Pier, welcomed by a vibrant beachside festival on the East Coast. We’re excited to support Jim as he sets his sights on a podium finish in his age group. You can follow the race and track his progress at www.coasttocoast.co.nz. Go Jim.
