Southland Community Challenge 2026

We are excited to invite you to be part of something special—the Southland Community Challenge, running from January 12th to March 8th, 2026. This initiative is about bringing our entire community together to support local charities through fun, fitness, and generosity.

2026 Charities:
- Hospice Southland
- The Grace Street Project
- Kiwi Harvest Southland

The 2026 challenge will culminate with 12 local First Responders carrying a Stokes Basket from Oreti Beach to Queens Park during the Wansley’s Cycles Surf to City event. The basket’s weight will increase based on donations—up to a maximum of 150kg—making it a true test of community spirit!
