Oxfam Trailwalker - the world's greatest team challenge - is calling your name! Day will turn in to night as you and three team mates run, walk, or do a bit of both along a 100km off-road course past stunning scenery. The aim is to finish in 36 hours.
All you need is a dash of fundraising flair, a dose of fitness and a sprinkling of determination (maybe a good sprinkling).
Oxfam Trailwalker NZ is an annual fundraising event organised and promoted by Oxfam New Zealand. Funds raised from the event will support Oxfam New Zealand's humanitarian, development and advocacy work to lift some of the world's poorest people out of poverty.

"Oxfam Trailwalker was fantastic. Thanks to Oxfam for the privilege of being there. The excitement, the anticipation and the will to succeed to complete the 100km was awesome. People were awesome with their encouragement and support"

"We did it! We walked 100km! I've lost my voice from all the singing and shouting through the day and night (and day again), and our feet collectively hurt - what an awesome time!" Enviroservices, Trailwalker 2008
" WE DID IT!!! We feel exhausted, exhilarated, and so very proud. We are a bunch of Real Estate Agents in our 40s & 50s (correction: have just discovered our team leader is 60) who got talked into Trailwalker over Christmas drinks. We are rising to the challenge and looking forward to contributing to Oxfam's wonderful work. We are certainly not athletes, and since starting training have had numerous blisters & aches, but we are real estate agents, and we are persistent" Lot 4, 2008
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations to all Oxfam Trailwalker participants, support crew and volunteers - we salute you!
