2-Kotah1 Pairs Comp

📢 Important Announcement: 2Kotahi Pairs Competition 2024

Kia ora, whānau. After careful consideration, we have made the decision not to run our 2Kotahi Pairs competition in 2024. This wasn't an easy call, but we're committed to bringing you the best events possible, and sometimes that means taking a step back to plan for an even better future.

We appreciate your understanding and support. Keep training hard, stay strong, and we'll be back with something awesome soon! 💪🏋️‍♂️

2KOTAH1 Pairs 2023 - Movement Standards Update

Just some of the frequently asked questions in between all the preparation we are doing!

✅️ Yes, you will need your own skipping rope for the first workout. We do have some aluminium speed ropes for sale at reception if needed. Beware, you will probably PB on your skipping with these ropes 👀🤣🤣

✅️ Bring a gazeebo if you want. There is limited space inside the gym so if you want a place to keep your food, drinks, chairs, rollers etc, bring it along. We have space outside at the rear of the gym, or there is also a grassy area close to the gated off Countdown/ construction area.

✅️ There is no charge for spectators this year. But please stay in spectator areas i.e. keep out of the warm up area and within marked boundaries.

✅️ There are other shops operating at the same time. Please be respectful and keep the doorway clear, especially around the op shop next door. Children should not be left unattended and allowed to roam into neighboring shops (there were some complaints last year).
