Trans NZ Registration

REGISTRATION

FINAL EDITION

2026 will mark our 10th year of running Trans NZ. It has been quite the ride and one that will be sadly missed. I mean I won't say for sure that it won't return, but for now we have other areas of life to focus on for a few years - who knows maybe we will return with some new and exciting!
So if this event has been on your bucket list, then it is now time to act - we are announcing dates earlier then ever before and opening registration earlier then we ever have before to allow people to really plan and make it happen!
We use to sell out every year within hours of opening reg until 2020 when the pandemic hit - I suspect this year will go back to sell out with it being the final year - so mark the registration opening date in your calendar now!

You show up at the start line each day at the allocated location.

2025: TERMS/POLICY/PRIVACY:

We will not share any of your details from registration with any third party providers, your information is strictly kept within Trans BC
We are unable to provide any refunds if any of the 6 days during the event needs to be canceled last minute due to safety issues like extreme weather or fires. Your registration fees will have already been allocated to accommodation, meals, transport and other related event expenses at that time. We will do our best to move location or provide an alternative rad experience to keep the hype high. In the past 5 years we have not had to cancel any days. In 9 years of Trans NZ we have had to cancel 1 day due to extreme weather conditions...snow!

CANCELLATION POLICY:

TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE:

It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you purchase 'trip cancellation' once you pay for your entry. You can find trip cancellation either through your travel insurance or maybe your credit card covers it? Just google trip cancellation for your country. Please do not ask for a refund if you have to cancel above and beyond what is listed above in our refund policy as it's your choice whether to take out / find/buy a Trip Cancellation policy and if you choose not to, then that is your own risk you are willing to take, not ours! You can purchase a policy for as low as $76. So it's a no brainer to purchase this to cover your $3150 entry cost. Here is a suggestion for Trip Cancellation Insurance - I have no connection to them or fully know their policies but are just a place to start to research:
NZ Residence: 1 Cover NZ
Aussie Residence: 1 Cover Australia
