The heart of race day, our Solar Power NZ Skedaddle Race Village 💚

From the iconic Woolshed registration to the start line where adventures began, our Race Village is the beating heart of Solar Power NZ Skedaddle. A place where athletes gathered, nerves turned to excitement, sponsors and supporters brought the village to life. The Solar Power NZ Recovery Zone helped weary legs recover, and the finish line, beneath the wooden Skedaddle sign, welcomed runners home.

For one day, this corner of Island Hills became a hub of celebration and connection.

A huge thank you to for beautifully capturing the spirit of the Race Village for us on Saturday. ✨
