Immerse yourself in the untamed wilderness of New Zealand's West Coast, a land of rugged beauty and unparalleled challenges. Founded by Nathan Fa'avae, this annual adventure race is a thrilling exploration of the West Coast's uncharted frontiers.

Nestled on the west side of the Southern Alps, this region is renowned for its steep whitewater rivers, dense jungle-like rainforests, jagged alpine ridges, hidden lakes, and windswept ocean coastlines. It's the ultimate arena for epic adventure seekers.

No matter your skill level, the True West caters to all adventure racers. Choose from beginner, intermediate, advanced, and elite level course options. For those seeking a taste of the adventure, beginners can experience the joy of completing a race in just 3 hours. On the other hand, elite teams will be pushed to their limits as they strive to conquer the challenging full course, available for a mere 48 hours.

The True West Adventure Race launched with a bang in 2022, setting an exceptionally high standard in Franz Josef Glacier. Subsequent events promise even more excitement and exploration.
