Whitehorse Challenge – Team St. Patricks School (Gareth & Chavo)

Gareth and Chavo completing the Whitehorse Challenge, a teams challenge run as part of the Whitehorse Big Easy event. Teams have the dual challenge of splitting a 25km mountainbike and 18km mountain run with a fundraising challenge. Teams are required to raise $500 via this page, that will be distributed by the Waimate Rotary Club to local, regional, and national causes, including Kidscan, Centrecare, South Canterbury Hospice, Bushtown, and the Whitehorse Mountainbiking Club (for further track maintenance).

Stepping up to represent the mighty St. Pats are Gareth and Chavo. Gareth is taking on the bike leg, mainly because he’s a good bugger and really couldn’t think of an excuse not to. He’s also putting a shout out to borrow a bike for the day – apparently he doesn’t think the 10 year old heavy framed beast with no suspension will put him in for a good showing. We’re sure that a solid diet of donuts will have him in peak shape come April. Chavo meanwhile is one of those sneakily fit runners likely to blitz the field on the day. Rumour has it he ran the course before committing just to make sure he could. Known as the grey fox, he’s much like a fine wine, only getting better with age. Get behind St. Pats and Gareth and Chavo by donating some funds to their give-a-little page!
