Dare 2 Sweat Events
Dare 2 Sweat Events (the company behind the biggest participation Adventure Race in the World – Spirited Women) have been working hard in the background to bring back Central Otago’s Iconic Multisport Event – The Goldrush. Spearheaded by Event Directors – Neil & Katrine Gellatly & Event Manager Debbie Chambers (all very accomplished multisport/adventure athletes and event organizers), the event has no finer pedigree with experience & tools in hand, grafting away in search of gold.
Following their forebearers (Nev & Rich, and Tim), Gellatly and Chambers know there is Gold in them there hills, and likewise know it’s not going to be easy to find. None-the-less like miners they are panning away hoping to find other good folk who share their vision of striking gold to ensure the returning Goldrush brings joyous success and prosperity to the region as it once did.
