Blue Lake 24hr Challenge

Double thumbs up. 3 weeks until we all pretend this was a good idea

Well its official we have had the tick in the box from the team at Tarawera Ultra-Trail By UTMB you can use Blue Lake 24hr as an official qualifying event for TMiler (100 miler)
See the link for info and entry in comments

One of our favourite bits of track will be missing this year, unfortunatly it is underwater. There is a new high water highly groomed "trail" that has just been built, it should make this section a lot faster!.. I think the CLAW will have to be made more difficult to achieve from next year...

A huge thank you to who once again are going to have some awesome spot prizes for us to hand out over the weekend! www.tailwindnutrition.co.nz

We are currently working with Tarawera Ultra to ensure we can comply with their current requirements for qualifying for the miler 🤪

Hands up if you are keen on using Blue Lake as a qualifying race 🙋‍♂️

A solid Burgerfuel planning session for (most of) the team. 3% of the to do list completed so making progress 🤣

For those who don’t know, BL24hr Challenge is run by a very small team of dedicated volunteers. The team is small because nobody can put up with Kurt for very long other than these weirdos. Kurt always has crazy ideas, Sean always has a joke (and an injury), Ash got lazy and plays squash now, Sarah always leans into boss mode and keeps the team in order, and Mike is new and therefore doesn’t know what he’s in for.

Not long now till you get to see them interact in the wild…..😜

Shoutout to the crews.

The bottle fillers, shoe changers, snack finders, pep-talk givers, blanket wranglers, midnight motivators, and professional “you’re looking great” liars.

Blue Lake 24 Hour would not be the same without the people behind the scenes keeping everyone moving, one lap at a time.

So we want to hear it:

What is your best crew story?

The funniest moment, the biggest save, the weirdest food request, the emotional one, or the time your crew somehow convinced you to go out for “just one more lap”.
