Whitehorse Challenge - The Cowboys (Chris & Greig)

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.

You will mainly see Chris and Greig out and about in their gumboots playing with cows, which is slightly less Rodeo than their team name implies! Chris is taking on the running leg. He recently won a leg of the very competitive Waimate Harriers 5km series so brings a fair degree of pedigree (as long as he can carry it through another 13.......). The fact that his farm is more hill than flat can only help too. Greig was used as a crash test bunny for last years event, being forced to bike around the (late) course changes a few days out from the event. This year he's looking for a smoother run-in to showcase his skills. For any of those who are aware of the Moore competitive spirit, you will be aware that he could be on course to pull out a ripper!
