POSTPONEMENT NOTICE!

The Manganui Rando Race has unfortunately had to be postponed. This is due to the severe weather expected on Saturday the 16th.

Currently the avalanche advisory for Manganui Ski Area is on HIGH. This affects the access track to the ski area.

Although a southerly clearing is expected on Sunday it has been decided that the uncertainty of weather and snow conditions and the logistical difficulties of a probable late opening to the ski area make it unsuitable to move the race to Sunday the 17th.

Therefore we regret to advise that the Manganui Rando race has been postponed until September. Date to be confirmed.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause but naturally safety is the primary focus.

This decision has been made between SkimoNZ and Manganui management.

For more details email the race organiser craigmartella@skimountaineering.org

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in entering the event. We look forward to seeing you on the re-scheduled date.
