Four summits. Four crowns.

An urban adventure hiding in the middle of Christchurch. Four midweek evening races over Mount Pleasant, Scarborough Hill, Mount Vernon, and Sugar Loaf, one series crown for the King and one for the Queen. Accessible enough for your first hill race, competitive enough that the regulars keep coming back.

The series takes a break in 2026 and returns in 2027. Sign up to the newsletter and you'll know first.
