Muscle & Hustle

We've made the difficult decision to cancel the event on 10 May

We genuinely love the concept and the community behind it, but it simply wouldn't be the event it deserves to be.

Thank you for your support and understanding. 🙏

Muscle & Hustle is here! 💪🔥

An epic fitness fundraiser combining running and strength challenges — all in support of Puna Rangatahi.

Every dollar raised helps us keep supporting local rangatahi to build confidence, strengthen their wellbeing, and create positive connections in our community.

Not keen to compete but still want to be part of the action? We’d love your support! We’re on the lookout for volunteers, marshals, and businesses who might like to get behind the event through sponsorship 🤝

📅 Round your crew, get moving, and be part of something bigger.

Zone 5 – TYRE PULL

The final strength zone!

You get low, lean forward and keep pulling. By now everything is hurting and stopping is not an option.

Keep the tension on the rope and drag it all the way through. Finish this zone and you're on to the victory lap!

Run → Lift → Repeat.

Zone 4 – WEIGHTED LUNGES

This is where things really start to bite. Tired legs make every step feel heavier than it should, but keep moving forward and you’ll see the finish getting closer.

Run → Lift → Repeat.

Zone 3 – BURPEE BROAD JUMP

This one’s all on you. No weights, no equipment, just your own effort and willingness to keep moving.

Get down, get back up, jump forward and repeat. It adds up quickly but stay steady and you’ll surprise yourself with how far you can go

Run → Lift → Repeat.

Zone 2 – THE FARMERS CARRY

The second strength zone at Muscle & Hustle. Straightforward and all about keeping momentum under load.

You’ll feel comfortable at the start, but as the carry goes on, the weight begins to add up. Stay tall, keep moving forward and trust that every step is taking you closer to the finish.

Run → Lift → Repeat.
