Gold Rush Multisport, Alexandra

Goldrush 2008 date will be 15th - 17th March. This is not Otago Anniversary weekend as Easter is on the same weekend as Otago Anniversary and we did not want to clash with many other events that take place over Easter. This will be the first year that we have not held the event on Otago Anniversary weekend, so will be a new experience. Entries will go online on the 31st August 2007.

Goldrush is a 375km Multi-sport event, set in the back country of Central Otago following the old trails opened up by the pioneers in their search for gold. It includes kayaking, mountain biking, running and road biking.
