Swimming, Triathlon and Biking

MainPower Primary School Swimming Programme

The North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust is administering the MainPower Primary School Swimming Programme again in 2016.    This programme has been growing for several years and now includes around 6000 Yr2-8 students from across North Canterbury, who each receive 10 quality swimming lessons for just $10 each.  Sponsorship for this programme comes from MainPower, Waimakariri and Hurunui Councils, KiwiSport and other funding agencies, as well as NCSRT activities within the community, including the Rakahuri Rage Teams Mountain Bike Race in Rangiora on 20th March.  

Unfortunately this year our KiwiSport funding has been cut by $14,000 for the Swimming programme so we are becoming more reliant on events like the Rakahuri Rage and our key local sponsors to keep it running, and that is where your community support is much appreciated.  Last year we raised over $10,000 for the swimming programme but this year we hope to raise even more to help make up for the funding we have lost.

The Rakahuri Rage is a fantastic entry level event suitable for riders of all ages and skill levels, and will provide a challenge for everyone.  It is an ideal opportunity for junior riders to compete and for adults to team up with kids, neighbours, family or school groups.  It’s open to riders 12 years and older (or Yr 8 students) and can be used as one of the activities for the William Pike Challenge Award.

It’s only $55 for adults and $35 for 12-17 Year olds.  Teams are of 2-4 riders and we’re sure you’ll have a fun day, get some exercise and make use of one of the great mountainbiking tracks on our door step.

Race date is Sunday 20th March 2016.  You can find out more and download the entry form from www.rakahuri-rage.nz or pick up a printed copy from Push Bike Rangiora, the Sports Centre on East Belt, or Dudley Park Aquatic Centre.

You can keep up-to-date on Rakahuri Rage race news and information by liking our facebook page.

The track is now well marked from the Rangiora Race Course or the Ashely River Bridge, so get out and give it a go and get your team entry in before 10th March.

We hope to see you at Rakahuri Rage 2016.
