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 so is behind it 100%.   

Alister was inspired and charmed when he saw 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 he made a commitment 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!

Prostate Cancer Southland is the charity of choice PlaceMakers has chosen and they will benefit from all funds raised from the ride.

Please join with us in this incredibly worthwhile cause.
