• The Pouto Lighthouse Challenge features a unique course that takes participants along the beach from Pouto Point to Pouto Lighthouse and back. The route offers scenic views and a mix of terrain, including sandy stretches that increase the challenge.

• Participants have the option to either bike, run, or walk this picturesque course, catering to different levels of fitness and preference.

• For those seeking a more rigorous challenge, the event offers a “Warrior Challenge” duathlon. This combines a bike ride with a run or walk, including a dune climb, doubling the distance and physical demand.

• The event serves as a fundraiser for the Cancer Society Northland, supporting their vital work with families affected by cancer in the region. This adds a meaningful layer to the participation, as competitors contribute to a worthy cause while enjoying the race.
