Whitehorse Challenge - Timaru Army Reserve Unit

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.

Phil and Wayne are entering the fray on behalf of the Timaru Army Reserve Unit. The Army Reserve is made up of every-day New Zealanders who do their normal job in the community then conduct military training in their spare time. Living, working and training in their local community the Army Reserve is the public face of New Zealand’s Army. They are taking this opportunity to get the word out about what the Reserves do, as well as hopefully win the trophy!! There's every chance they could too - Phil has run competitively in his distant past, and Wayne looks for any chance to wear lycra......
