Make a difference

Raise money to help mountain communities in the remote Himalaya

Every day, students in the Himalayas walk for 2+ hours with 500m of elevation to get to school

How high will you walk, run or bike?

Pick'n'mix your sports

Mix and match your sports throughout the month, no need to commit to one discipline

“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves”

Sir Edmund Hillary

Go solo, or tackle it as a team or organisation

They say if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together

Can you get to the summit?

Himalayan Trust New Zealand has created a monumental challenge!

Thousands of Kiwis are going to battle it out to see who can climb the most vertical metres. Together we'll be raising funds for education in the disadvantaged mountain communities of the Himalayas - which is at the core of our organisation's mission because education is the only surefire route out of poverty.
