Rustic Run and Walk
Mt Difficulty Wines serves as the starting point for the Rustic Run and Walk, which proceeds in laps through the Bannockburn Sluicings. This setting suits a winter event with rough terrain and a lighthearted objective. It runs concurrently with the extreme Mt Difficulty Ascent, but this event encourages a more collaborative, team-oriented approach rather than an intense personal challenge. The core idea is straightforward: test yourself, your coworkers, your family, or simply a group of friends. The course design involves repeated circuits of the Sluicings, offering participants the advantage of familiarizing themselves with the route and then pacing their effort. It accommodates solo runners or teams, with flexible options for running order and distance, making it a suitable occasion for a "mid winter work team building function" for organizations with a sense of humor. Participants can anticipate off-road conditions, team communication during relays, and an opportunity to "Enjoy the atmosphere, camaraderie" with fellow participants pursuing the same slightly muddy objective.
