Great Carterton Wheelbarrow Race

Nationwide

The Carterton Pub-to-Pub 13 km endurance race is competed in with Mens, Women's and Mixed teams racing.

Teams consist of a runner and a rider, who can change positions at points around the course.

No modifications to wheelbarrows are tolerated.

The race starts front of the Gladstone Inn and the finishes at the RSA club in Carterton.

The event has its roots back in 1936, when locals raced steel-wheeled barrows 6km along metal roads from the Waiohine Bridge to Carterton's clock tower. The event was revived 65 years later.

The endurance race is part of a larger community event with short course races in town involving children, sporting clubs and community groups.

Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
