Adventure Racing

At NPGHS we offer students the opportunity to develop in this area with a range of activities and events offered, often in conjunction with New Plymouth Boys’ High School. The multi-disciplinary nature of the sport combines physical skills, endurance and teamwork.

There are a wide variety of levels and competitions, from juniors doing a 4 hour Get-2-Go to the Hillary Challenge 5-day event.  There are also plenty of events for families to be part of.  Races can include running, climbing, regaining, paddling, biking, orienteering and problem-solving.
