Help !

WE need to get New Zealand’s TOP 15 Backyard Ultra Runners setup to run their BEST in the ‘World Backyard Ultra Championship aka ‘Satellites’ at 1am Sunday 20th October 2024 in Otematata South Island

Currently the athletes are having to self-fund themselves from all over NZL to get there. Estimated costs over $1000 per runner!!!

We are asking you , the public , runners and non-runners to support your fellow KIWI’s represent New Zealand

The more and more we raise the more we can share the journey and weekend with you.
