2014 Peak to pub

The 2014 Peak to Pub, in it’s 16^th consecutive year once again supplied its field of over 160 competitors with thrills and spills! A short cold dip in the RDR along the way to being hosed off by the local fire truck before being able to polish off a Speights that awaited them at the World famous in Methven, Blue Pub.

The race started high on the slopes of Mt Hutt at 2pm with the Individuals followed by the Teams, the cloud staying away just long enough for the ski leg to be visible by all.

They mounted their bikes in the base area and headed downward on the Mt Hutt Access road for a serious adrenalin filled bike ride with the first 3 riders shooting ahead before the cloud rolled in to make for a more challenging ride, with the first individual rider hitting the tar seal at the bottom of the access road, before the teams had even started – less than 20minutes into the race!

With a great atmosphere at the Blue Pub the finish is a great opportunity to catch up with friends and family and share your experience on the day, from the Summit of Mt Hutt at 2086m to the comfort of the Blue Pub in Methven at 300m.

Watch out for some up coming changes to the Peak to Pub registration process for 2015! Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you all again soon – bring along some friends and make a day of it!

Event Information

Mt Hutt's Peak to Pub is not just for the hard core, this race is achievable for anyone who is interested in challenging themselves physically and mentally. From New Zealand’s top multi sporters to enthusiastic amateurs seeking fun and personal triumph everyone is sure to have a blast.

Stage 1:	Ski/board (2km) Start high on the slopes of the Mt Hutt Ski Area with a mass start at the peak. You will run 100m to your skis or snowboard followed by a Giant Slalom style race down to the base area through a number of gates. You will then hit the transition stage for the transfer to the Bike Section.
Stage 2:	Mountain Bike (18km) From the Mt Hutt base area you switch to your bike for a heart stopping bike ride down the access road (dirt). It may seem all downhill when you drive it but be prepared to do a bit of peddling. New optional detour down one of the Mt Hutt Bike Parks trails for competitors looking for a bit of fun.
Stage 3:	Run (11km) At the bottom of the access road at the corner of Highway 72 the run section to the Blue Pub (for a well deserved drink) begins. Expect less road more trail, some water, and a bit of mud!

Join as a team of three with each person deciding to do the ski, bike or run section or challenge yourself in the individual category and do all three sections:

Individuals:

Teams:

Open Women, Open Men, Vet Women, Vet Men

Mens, Womens, Mixed-Corporate, Mixed, Vet Team (45+)

There will always be a first, second and third for those who enjoy the competition, however we endeavour to have spot prizes of equal value to encourage any person to enter this race and enjoy the huge achievement that is being a part of the Peak to Pub!
