Summit Challenge Launch Hikes

Join us in Auckland on March 1 and Christchurch on March 3.

Join Sir Ed’s Hillary’s grandsons, George and Alex Hillary, and the Himalayan Trust team to launch your Summit Challenge!

The group hikes in Auckland (1 March) and Christchurch (3 March) will get your challenge off to a healthy start. Not quite Mt Everest, but it’s a great start!

There will be spot prizes on the day, thanks to our generous sponsor Kathmandu. To top it all off, all the funds you raise will be invested in quality education, vital healthcare and safe drinking water in the Everest region of Nepal.

Christchurch – 3 March at the Rapaki Track

We’ll meet at the top end of Rapaki Road at the sign for the Rapaki Track. There’ll be a warm welcome and short speech from John Loof, General Manager of the Himalayan Trust and George Hillary, Summit Challenge ambassador. Then, we’ll all hike together to Summit Road and back down again.

Auckland – March 1, Mt Eden

Meet at the corner of Puhi Huia and Mt Eden Roads, on the grass next to the historic tram shelter.

We’ll have a warm welcome and short speech from John Loof, General Manager of the Himalayan Trust and George Hillary before hiking together to the summit of Mount Eden seven times, finishing around noon. If you arrive late, head up to the summit and you can catch us there on our next lap.
