✨ THAT’S A WRAP ✨

The silent auction is CLOSED and you absolute legends helped me raise $3,000 🤯🇸🇪

If you won a lot, check your messages for payment details and collection options.

Huge love to my outrageously generous donors and my delightfully competitive bidders. You understood the assignment.

If you tried to sneak in a bid after 7pm on the 28th and missed out… I admire the optimism. The clock did not. ⏰😅

Thank you for fuelling this 44-year-old’s plan to go push very heavy things in Sweden.

Right. Back to sleds. 💪

Last call for interest… This one is closing at 7pm tonight (the only early one because it is on Saturday).

Entry to Xterra Wellington Festival 28 February -

Note - this is before the close of the auction, so it will go to the highest bidder on Wednesday 25th or February at 7pm.

XTERRA Wellington Festival, an offroad festival packed full of goodness on and off the trails. A completely unique, off-road duathlon, mountain bike and trail running experience with spectacular views, "the best downhill of any XTERRA on the planet" and true Kiwi hospitality to make you feel right at home. Wellington is known for its hills, breathtaking views and rugged coastlines. This makes for one incredible XTERRA.

21k - A gorgeous half-marathon trail run starting and ending by the beautiful beaches of Queen Elizabeth Park. RRP $75, $85 for late entry

14k - Starting at Whareroa Beach wind your way out of the park, under the expressway and into Whareroa Farm. Here you will find a superb trail through the beautiful Kohekohe and gum forest then up a mountain bike link track before making your way down a fantastic twisting, turning downhill and back. A few ponds and the Yankee trail brings you back to the beach where glory awaits. RRP $55, $65 for late entry

6k - Our 6km run winds its way along the beautiful dunes of Queen Elizabeth park. Its beautiful views will make up for the undulation in this quintessentially coastal New Zealand run and that is why we love it. You will wind your way back through transition before your final 2km so can feel the buzz and the atmosphere to spur you on those last couple of K’s. RRP $40, or $47 for late entry.

Deadly Dozen NZ: Christchurch
Sunday 8 March 2026
09:00 18:00
Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub
Augustine Dr Christchurch, Canterbury Region, 8025 New Zealand

Deadly Dozen Track Race
The Deadly Dozen track race involves 12 x 400m runs, which we refer to as Journeys, and 12 x exercise stations, which we refer to as Labours. The Labours only use bodyweight (BW), kettlebell (KB), dumbbell (DB) and weight plate (WP) exercises. Therefore, race training is incredibly accessible in any setting, whether in a gym, at home or outdoors. Ultimately, an individual could effectively train for the event with just a pair of kettlebells.
