About

The driving force behind the Southern Scooter Challenge was PlaceMakers Inverargill’s branch manager, Alister Rance who is now located at Placemakers Cranford Street, but our new Manager Ron Jeffcoat was more than happy to keep this great event going and currently owns x7 scooters so is behind it 100%.

The idea came from the TV coverage of the second Tranz Apine Scooter Safari, a mass scooter ride from Christchurch to the West Coast that raised more than a hundred thousand dollars for charity.

Right away the commitment was to bring the ride to the Southern roads, so contacted the Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari creators for their approval and assistance. So with that, the Southern Scooter challenge was born back in 2010!

Please join with us in this incredibly worthwhile cause.
