SponsorsWe could not do what we do without the support of our sponsors.
 | Orion Health are our principal sponsor. Orion Health develops software for the health industry. Its easy-to-use IT solutions improve patient care and clinical decision making by providing integrated health data to clinical caregivers at the point of patient care. Like their adventure racing team, Orion Health push the boundaries and are world leaders in their field. |
 | Berghaus are makers of quality clothing, footwear and backpacks for many different forms of outdoor activity. They provide us with a range of awesome products that keep us dry, warm, comfortable and moving fast across all terrains and through the ever changing range of different environments that adventure racing takes us to. |
 | New Balance are recognised and respected world-wide for their footwear and apparel. There has been many a race where we have trekked on in our New Balance trail shoes whilst our competitors fell away ... as their feet fell apart. Having been with us since the beginning New Balance have played a huge part in making sure that when we're racing we're still there at the end. |
 | R&R Sport are New Zealand's leading outdoor adventure retailer and we are always impressed with their ability to find us the many different things that we need to keep us equipped for our races. From tents to wetsuits, flippers and food, bike parts and service to the awesome Giant Anthem Zero bikes themselves the staff and management of R&R Sports have been behind us all the way. |
 | Horleys make "intelligent sports nutrition" and we definitely think it's pretty clever how their products (particularly their isotonic electrolyte drink Replace) keep us energised and fuelled to race fast for days. Any adventure racer will tell you that the right nutrition is critical to racing well and we know with Horleys products we're making a smart choice. |
 | Made by three times Coast to Coast winner Emily Miazga it's no suprise that her well known Power Cookies and relatively new, but equally great, Bars are excellent endurance race food. To have the energy to be the best you need the best energy sources and we can vouch for EM's Power Cookies and Bars being made using a recipe for success! |
 | Adventure Racing and training are hard on the body ... pushing yourself to your physical limits for days at a time is guaranteed to hurt! CW-X Conditioning Wear is anatomically-engineered high performance sports apparel specifically designed to maximise muscle efficiency and stop bodies falling apart which is just what we need, especially as Day 5 approaches ... |
 | Thorlos say "Love Your Feet" which is in perfect alignment with the common Adventure Racing mantra of "Look after your feet". Whether it's a 5km dash or a 500km slog we know we can rely on the quality and comfort of Thorlos socks. Our feet definitely love the way Thorlos look after them. |
 | If you're paddling for 17 hours through the icy fjords of Norway or heading off for 70km on the rivers of Brazil you definitely don't want to be putting in any unecessary paddle strokes! Made from top quality carbon fibre Legend's high performance, lightweight wing paddles have designs to suit all sizes of paddlers and all types of paddling including our adventure racing marathons. |
 | Day Two manufacture quality handmade kayaking and watersports gear including buoyancy vests, sprayskirts, neoprene pants and waterproof jackets. Adventure racing takes us down river rapids, across stretches of open ocean and all over lakes and other bodies of water. Whether we're on plastic "sit on tops", racing skis, or in our Insomniac kayaks, with our Day Two gear we're always ready for any water challenge. |
| The first time we used our Wilma Lupine lights our support crew thought we were a couple of cars approaching transition! If you can't see where you're going it's pretty hard to get there ... a problem we simply don't have as our Lupine lights turn night into day. |
 | ARea 51 (Adventure Racing Equipment Australia) was established to fill a significant hole in the market for a specialty multi-sport / adventure racing gear store. Go check out their online store, it's got all the essentials for expedition races and short stuff, and it's all reasonably priced. Let them know Orion Health put you onto them  |
| Leabank Pharmacy For all our medical needs! | Wayne's brother Kerry owns and runs the Leabank Pharmacy in Manurewa, Auckland and uses his pharmaceutical knowledge and stock of potions, lotions and various materials of a sticky nature to help hold us together. With the support of Leabank Pharmacy we're always well equipped to deal with any First Aid challenges a race presents. |
If you would like to help support our team, we would love to hear from you.
