Pacific Horizon stays the course in the Coast to Coast!
February 2010
Every year hundreds of supremely fit athletes take part in the ‘Coast to Coast’ race – the world’s premier multi-sport event.
The Speight's Coast to Coast traverses the South Island of New Zealand from Kumara Beach on the Tasman Sea to Sumner Beach on the Pacific Ocean. Over either two days (individuals or two person teams) or the one-day event (individuals only), competitors cycle 140 kms (three stages of 55km, 15 km and 70 km), run 36 km (including a 33 km mountain stage that crosses the Southern Alps) and kayak 67kms of the grade two Waimakariri River through the Grand Canyon of New Zealand, the Waimakariri Gorge
When a mobile media HQ was needed this year, the organisers recognised they needed a motorhome which was as tough and enduring as the race itself, although much more luxurious! They used two Pacific Horizon 6 berths, and whilst the race was a dramatic affair up until the end, the race for the best motorhome was over before it had begun!
Event Organiser Richard Judkins and record breaking 9 x Coast to Coast Winner Steve Gurney, proudly stand in front of the family favourite 6 Berth.
