How do I register?

How To Register

There are 2 simple steps to the registration process.

1. Register Your Team

Click the ” Register ” button and follow the instructions to register your team. You will be asked to login or create a login (if you’re a first timer).
Early Registration until 31 August 2012.
$1080 for “Kiwi Dozen” (12 runners) – Late Rigstration (1st September – 22nd October) $1320
$540 for “Mean As” (6 runners) – Late Rigstration (1st September – 22nd October) $660

• You will need to have your team members name, email, and t-shirt sizes at the time of registration.  We know that things happen and you have to change runners, which you can do at a later time by changing your “runner information” on the registration form, but you need to provide all 12 or 6 runners at the time of registration.

2. Start Looking For Volunteers

All LOCAL teams must provide three (3) volunteers for the race (van drivers do not count as volunteers). Teams are considered LOCAL if they have 1 or more team members within 150 kilometers of any point on the course. If no one on your team lives within 150 kilometers of any point on the course you do not have to privide volunteers.

What is K2M?

Kura-2-Mount (k2m)? What does that mean?
Think of it as a 300+ km party with 12 of your mates. Teams of 12 (referred to as the “Kiwi Dozen”) will rock out to great music, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make lifelong friends with teammates and fellow competitors. Teams will party along the beautiful back country of New Zealand’s North Island from Auckland to Tauranga.

Running three legs during a 30-hour relay race is actually much easier than you think. Each team member runs three legs, ranging between 5 and 14 kilometres each time. This relay race is physically demanding, but legs vary in difficulty, and runners can choose their legs. This unique relay format makes the K2M an accessible race for beginners yet challenging enough for the most competitive.

How to get from one exchange to the next?

How do you get from one exchange to the next? Simple. Each team is allowed two vehicles. The first runner runs the first leg while vehicle 1 provides essentials life support such as a feed, fizzy, ice cream and heaps of love. Upon reaching the end of the first leg, runner two prepares to take the baton. They will repeat this for six legs and then hand off to Vehicle 2 to complete the next six legs while Vehicle 1 takes off for a feed of fush n chups! Both vehicles will leapfrog all the way to the finish line.

Beginners Training Plan

Beginner

Run at your own “comfortable” pace for the given amount of time. “Comfortable” might mean walking periodically in order to complete the workout. That’s okay, the important thing is that you stick to the length of time allotted for each workout. If you miss a workout don’t worry, just start from where you are on the schedule.

/ = Multiple Runs – two or three runs within 24 hours.

MN = Minutes.

R/C = Rest or Cross-Train Easy – this is your easy recovery day.

Hills – Start the hill workouts by doing a few easy hills that don’t put a lot of stress on your legs. Gradually add more resistance by increasing length and grade. By the final weeks you should be able to do the entire length of the run over hills. The longer the hills, the better.

Multiple Workouts – There are several days that include mutiple workouts in one day. This is designed to simulate running 3 legs over 24-hours. You may also try running at night and at high altitude.

Food and Hydration – While training you should practice re-hydrating and eating as if you were actually running a relay. Choose replacement drinks and foods that are easily managed by your stomach. Foods that are high in carbohydrates,easily digestible, and easily transportable.
