Over 800 competitors will vie for places in the 27th Anniversary race on February 13th and 14th 2009.
The Speight's Coast to Coast is the world's premier multisport event.
The Speight's Coast to Coast is the benchmark by which all other multisport events are judged, both here in New Zealand and overseas.
The Speight's Coast to Coast traverses the South Island of New Zealand from Kumara Beach on the Tasman Sea to Sumner Beach on the Pacific Ocean.
Over either two days (individuals or two person teams) or the one-day event (individuals only), competitors cycle 140kms (three stages of 55km, 15km and 70km), run 36km (including a 33km mountain stage that crosses the Southern Alps) and kayak 67kms of the grade two Waimakariri River through the Grand Canyon of New Zealand, the Waimakariri Gorge.
And after all this they still have the energy to crack open a very well deserved Speight's - New Zealand's finest beer.
