Rangitikei Adventure Race

24/03/2026

2750 points. 11:53:27. And a completely different challenge. 🛶🔥

Top paddle team “In it for the Route” — Ethan, Tom, Maysen & Zac- didn’t just paddle strong… they had to think differently too.

Starting their trek from TA2 instead of River Valley, like the duathlon teams did, their race came down to smart navigation, sharp decisions, and making the most of every leg.

Out here, there’s no single “right” way- just the one you back when it counts 😏

Would you change your strategy after seeing this? 👇

A huge thank you to River Valley Lodge and the raft guide team who went above and beyond to make the race logistics work. They floated out all the competitors’ packrafts and paddle gear, allowing racers to transition straight from the river onto their trek stage- no lugging of paddling gear for the next four hours required. Incredible support and teamwork!

The team spirit was unreal and the smiles say it all. A few snaps below to capture the fun- can’t wait to see the professional shots when they’re ready!
Thanks everyone for bringing the vibe 👊
