Welcome to the Adventure Nelson web site, it is a live site which will be updated all the time and the news page will be updated and sent out to those on the e-mail list every week with all the up to date news that I know of, along with items for sale in the Sheriff’s Secondhand Shop.

Adventure Nelson is the home of Adventure Racing and Multisport events in the Nelson -  Tasman area with its range of proven events that have been around for along time to the new events like the AR Page Dash 4 Cash developed in 2009 and re scheduled for November/ December 2011 and the Autumn 102 & 51- long course triathlon or multisport race , we took this for a test drive and it went off….it was priceless! Those who rocked up are all coming back….when I here you ask? I’m working with DOC currently but February 2011 is looking good for the swimmers.  I am working on a the LD- Epic, A  Long Distance Multisport Epic for April 2011…watch this space, all will be revealed after the Rollo’s 6HOUR Adventure Race in September 2010.

I have created all the events on the Adventure Nelson menu and there are more in the pipe-line that will evolve as others drop away. As an event organiser I believe that you need to be able to line up at the start-line, to know what works and what doesn’t. Because of this you would have and will still see me at events from Sprint Triathlons to Ironman events, Rogaines to Orienteering events, Kayak races to Multisport events and many more  getting a feel for the heart beat of Adventure. This in-site allows me to know what many Adventure Nelson Competitor will be thinking in those moments before the starting gun goes off.

Milestones for 2010

The 10th Rollo’s Nelson Adventure Race was held in Collingwood during Queen’s Birthday Weekend 2010, Also doubled as the NZ Adventure Racing Champs and the course was a cracker. The challenge is to better it in 2011.

The 7th Rollo’s 6HOUR Adventure Race Urban Nelson on the 4th September.This is likely to sell out quickly.

The 14th Fresh Choice Nelson City Musselman will be held in October, the race date is Sunday 31st October.

So have a look around the new site, while it is still work in motion the basic structure is there and should you have any questions or queries please contact us via the contact tab above.

I value any input, as they say - “when you are green you grow, when you are ripe you rot”

I look forward to seeing you at an Adventure Nelson start-line soon.
