2017 Entries Now Open For 4 Day Traverse

By The Pioneer

We are really pleased to now bring you the 4 Day Traverse as part of The Pioneer 2017 - an enhanced version of the 2016 3 Day Traverse!

The 4 Day Traverse is a solo event and incorporates everything that is great about The Pioneer, but is more achievable for those without the time to train for and participate over 7 days of stage racing. 

This year, as a solo event only, the Traverse see riders begin their 4-day journey in Christchurch, alongside the 7 Day Epic riders, and complete their ride in Lake Ohau at the end of Stage Four. 

Although a shortened version, the Traverse will still prove to be mentally and physically demanding with 8,718m of climbing across the 314kms of riding.

As a full service race, competitors have the opportunity to purchase additional packages for the event including; Full Supporter Package, Meal Package, Campervan Package, Laundry Package, Massage Package plus a Transport option: Lake Ohau to Queenstown. Full details available here. 

As a Traverse rider you will experience a unique journey, different to 2016, through the stunning Southern Alps with inspiring views across breath-taking countryside, which very few will ever get to experience. You will share the ultimate life time experience with other riders and enjoy a level of camaraderie like no other – we don’t exaggerate when we say life-long friends are made on this journey.

So secure the time off work, lock it into your calendar and get your entry in!
