Queenstown North Face – Peak to Peak 2009

The North Face Peak to Peak race will take place on Saturday 25 July commencing at midday from The Remarkables ski area, Queenstown.

The unique race literally goes from peak to peak, starting at The Remarkables and finishing at the ski area of Coronet Peak, Queenstown. The race was first held in 1994 with 15 individual and 7 teams.

The race includes 2km skiing/snowboarding course, a 17km mountain bike down The Remarkables, a 7km paddle from Frankton to Queenstown Bay, a 9km run from Queenstown to the foot of Coronet Peak and a 9km cycle ride to the base building of the ski area.

The winter race is always a highlight on the multisport calendar because it calls for a range of skills, which attracts budding and elite athletes as well as competitors who like to participate along with colleagues and friends on the highly competitive teams section.

The Peak to Peak is supporting the Bruce Grant Youth Trust as its charity this year, and is asking all competitors to make a donation to the trust set up in the name of a young Queenstown adventurer, Bruce Grant, who tragically died in 1995 after summiting K2 Mountain.
