THE "JAMES"
MOUNTAINSPORT SERIES
Your Gateway to Adventure
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2024
THE DEPT OF CONSERVATION HAS RENEGED ON THEIR CATEGORICAL STATEMENT AND PROMISE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A REPLACEMENT MACARTHUR BRIDGE IN PLACE BEFORE XMAS! Therefore we have been forced to cancel again a number of our St James races. Canceled fully are; The Mountainman, The Epic & Pony Express.
On hold until 10th Nov while we evaluate an alt MTB stage is the Alpine Adventure race. If feedback is positive then entry for this will reopen using the 30km of Tophouse Rd from Lake Tennyson back to St James.
The Trackme NZ High Country 100 requires more entries (at least another 8) at this stage so entry will remain open until end of Nov when a decision will be made to continue or cancel – there will be full refunds or transfer in that case.
We are very pleased to announce a new partnership with TrackMe NZ and naming of the 100k ultra to – TrackMe NZ High Country 100. This also allows us to increase our live tracking capacity which will now be included in your entry for all race options except the Mad Cow and Homestead Half. Please note though that this is limited to the first 180 entries.
The MacArthur swingbridge replacement on the cycleway should be in place before the end of this year – DoC outright lied to us and the public, there will not be any replacement for the summer at all!
