2025 Hillary Challenge Final

Welcome to the Hillary Challenge Final, where limits are tested and legends are made. This event demands more than just peak physical and mental fitness; it’s a true test of teamwork. In the face of challenges, members must unite and thrive under pressure, pushing each other to new heights. When the going gets tough, it’s about harnessing that collective strength and resilience to conquer every obstacle together.

Teams of 8 students push their limits in a 5-day endurance test, battling skill, speed, and stamina across a series of intense outdoor adventure challenges. From a demanding 2-day rogaine-style wilderness expedition to a high-stakes multi-sport race on the final day, every moment will test what they’re made of.

In true adventure racing spirit, the challenges are kept under wraps until the starting line – because the unknown is where the real adventure begins. To make it to the final, teams must first conquer one of the North and South Island Hillary Challenge 6-hour races at the start of Term 2.
