NEXT PlaceMakers Southern Scooter Challenge -
Sat 7th ​September 2024
Sorry you missed out
​REGISTRATIONS ARE FULL 

The Scooter Challenge is an endurance ride, from the sea to mountains in New Zealand’s heartland. From windswept Stirling Point in Bluff to the tourist Mecca and alpine resort of Queenstown. A journey of 220 kilometers to raise funds within The PlaceMakers Foundation, this year we will be keeping it in the South and supporting Hospice Southland.

The Challenge is in no way a race – it’s an awareness-raising and fundraising event for the survivors, families of those with an illness and those committed to making a difference. By raising funds and awareness for Hospice Southland we are helping them continue their great work.

2022 was our 7th time running our PlaceMakers Scooter Challenge; after moving it from 2021 because of Covid. 

The Challenge is not for the fainthearted, this is not a relaxing day out, it is designed to be the coldest, longest, hardest, most grueling and uncomfortable test of endurance on a city scooter to raise money and awareness for our chosen charity.

Hospice Southland provides specialist palliative care to those with a life-limiting illness in Southland and the Wakatipu Basin, free charge, and ideally in their setting of choice. Their team of health professionals specialises in providing quality treatment and care to patients and their families. The team maintains close links with other health professionals and caregivers involved.
Hospice Southland have a range of services and program's which include, Community Palliative Care, Day Programme, Living Legacies, In-Patient Unit, Spiritual Support and Patient and Family Support.  

Registrations will be capped at x150 scooters this year and you are expected to raise a minimum of $100 per person or you will be removed from the challenge as we have other riders on a waiting list that are keen to raise funds and make a difference for our charity.
​
You can register yourself or your team from 3rd June 2024, 8.00am.

So, let's do our bit, grab a scooter, lodge your entry, get fundraising and do your bit to help a very worthy service.  

All funds raised in 2024 go to the:
