The Edridge Contracting Teetotal Traverse is scheduled for 24 November 2024, set within the scenic Teetotal Flats and Big Bush Conservation Area, adjacent to Nelson Lakes National Park. This event features a challenging trail course that caters to both runners and walkers, allowing participants to explore the natural beauty of this lesser-known conservation area.
The course is characterized by its alpine scenery and diverse terrain, providing a unique outdoor experience while participants navigate through pristine landscapes. The event is organized by Nelson Tasman Community Sport Events, with proceeds benefiting Active4Good and two local charities, the MTB Trails Trust and Friends of Rotoiti Trust, which support conservation efforts in the region.
Post-race amenities typically include refreshments and opportunities for social engagement, allowing participants to relax and connect with others after completing the courses. The Teetotal Traverse not only offers a physical challenge but also contributes to local community initiatives and environmental stewardship.
