About the race
Wander Women Adventure Race in Whangarei is a navigational team event for women held in November 2026. Teams of two or four women navigate a secret course to collect checkpoints and complete at least two mystery activities that add points to a team clue sheet. Maps and clue sheets are issued at registration when the course is revealed.
There are two course options with walking, running and mountain bike sections. The short course requires approximately 5–7 km off road on foot and 10–15 km of mostly non-technical mountain biking. The long course requires approximately 10–15 km off road on foot and about 25 km of mountain biking on forestry roads and farmland. Optional extra checkpoints are available so teams can adjust challenge and score.
Teams must stay within 100 metres of each other at all times and may not receive outside assistance. Placings are determined by points collected; tied scores are decided by elapsed time. All competitors must carry specified individual gear and teams must carry required team kit; GPS devices are not allowed. Participants compete at their own risk and must provide a completed registration, full payment and a signed liability waiver. Categories include Open, Veterans and Masters and there is an e-bike category where at least one team member uses an e-bike. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
