Farm Strong

In keeping with Farmstrong's key messages about staying connected and keeping active, ride strong is a semi-serious, race category for the farming community. This is a great chance to get off the farm, “recharge your batteries” and catch up with mates

Farmstrong is a nationwide, rural wellbeing programme that helps farmers cope with the ups and downs of farming so they can live well and farm well. Since its launch in 2015, Farmstrong’s mix of farmer-to-farmer stories, workshops, events and online resources have made a measurable difference in the lives of many people. Last year, 23% of farmers attributed an improvement in their wellbeing to Farmstrong. That's over 15,000 farmers and farm workers! To find out what works for you and “lock it in”, check out Farmstrong’s farmer-to-farmer videos, stories and tips at www.farmstrong.co.nz

You can enter either distance for any event as Ride Stong, and race to be crowned as Ride Strong 2025 Champions, and still be eligible for the main class category placings!

A new points system will be introduced this year. Points will be rewarded by finishing order, i.e. one point for first, 2 points for second etc, with final series placings determined by the lowest combined score from your best three events.

Full category and age group information is available on the entry form.
