Marlborough Mt Everest Challenge 2024
This popular event is back for another year!
The Mount Everest Challenge is a run/walk event where the goal is to travel the elevation of Mt. Everest (8800 m) in the same time that it took Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 (7 weeks).
We aim to encourage local people to not only utilise the amazing local walking tracks that Marlborough has to offer, but to get fit while doing so. The tracks chosen will allow participants to accomplish the goal by running or walking the Tirohanga track 36 times or the Mt. Vernon track 25 times during the 7 week period for the event.
You can do it solo or as part of a team!
Get your family, friends and work colleagues to join your team. Put the challenge out there and see what you and your team can achieve.

Make your way around the 1.5km course or go around the course twice to cover 3km. Light coloured clothing and eye protection (sunglasses,goggles etc) are recommended for the best time.
