Youthtown Get2Go Challenge

Now in its 6th year the Get2Go Challenge is like the Amazing Race, Treasure Island and Survivor, mixed together with adventure sports including rock climbing, orienteering, kayaking and mountain biking. Get2Go is sponsored by Youthtown and has been designed to encourage a wider participation in outdoor pursuit activities.

There are 12 regional events around the country spanning as far north as Whangarei, right down to Dunedin. These take the form of one day challenges that are held in Term 3 each year.

In the regional one day events, teams need to navigate between four 60minute long challenges and attempt each in the allotted time. To maximise their score in each task teams will be required to work together, using important team skills such as communication, problem solving, planning and decision making.

There is a limited capacity of 24 teams at each regional challenge, with teams taken on a first in first served basis.

The Grand Final, held at the OPC marine base on Great Barrier Island, is an intense week made up of problem solving activities, an expedition which finishes with a full on adventure race. The winning team from each regional event is invited to attend the final against the very best adventure teams from around the country.
