Welcome to the Merrell Spring Challenge

Nau mai ki te wero o te koanga

25th-27th September 2026

Step into the adventure of the Merrell Spring Challenge, a vibrant journey designed exclusively for women who crave connection, challenge, and the thrill of discovery. Picture teams of three stepping into the unknown, sharing laughter, victories, and the pure joy of pushing beyond what they thought possible.

Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just beginning your journey, there’s a course to match your spirit, choose the exhilarating 3-hour, the daring 6-hour, or the ultimate 9-hour challenge. Each one is an opportunity to explore the wilderness, test your limits, and create lasting memories with your teammates.

The Merrell Spring Challenge is about more than racing. It’s about empowerment, wellness, and carving out time for yourself. The adventure begins long before the start line, as teams train, prepare, and support one another. Along the way, you’ll discover resilience, growth, and an unshakable bond that comes from facing challenges together.

By the time you cross the finish line, it won’t just be about the achievement, it will be about the friendships forged, the confidence gained, and the moments that will stay with you long after the event ends.

So gather your team, embrace the unknown, and let your journey begin.
