HARD
LABOUR WEEKEND
The
Twizel Hard Labour Weekend had its background back
in 1985 when a half marathon was started as a fundraiser
for kids sport. It has morphed through a number
of different events at different sites to what we
have today - three events (mountain bike, kayak
and off-road run) over two days. Competitors can
enter individual events or for the really keen,
complete all three events and become a Hard Labourer.
