Whitehorse Challenge - Team 'Go Bro's' (Daniel & Reuben)

The Whitehorse Challenge is a charity event run by the Waimate Rotary Club as part of the Veterinary Centre Whitehorse Big Easy event. One member of each team completes a 26km mountainbike, and the other an 18km run in the stunning hills around Waimate. The added challenge for the teams is to raise $500, with funds this year being dispersed to local and regional charities.

The Allan Brothers, Daniel and Reuben are our first family team entry this year. They both come with very strong (historical) sporting pedigrees..... In a past life Daniel has completed many endurance races including the Kepler Challenge, various mountain biking events, multiple near death experiences in the mountains and dodging icebergs around Cape Horn in a sail boat. Daniel has managed to get himself off his walking frame and come out of retirement for the event, but still holds winning the Ikawai School egg & spoon race as an 8 year old as his proudest sporting achievement.

Reuben is back for another go at this event after finishing at the bottom end of the ladder last year. He has also competed in various endurance races in the past but reckons he would struggle to beat his sons aged 10 & 12 in a race at the moment. In a similar vein to Daniel his greatest sporting memory harks back to the Morven Gala days where he was runner-up in the 3 legged race as a 5 year old.
