Richmond Glass Mowsworth Challenge 2024
Saturday 23 March 2024 - Join us on the Mowsworth Rampage Challenge!
Cancer is NOT fun. But this Ride-on Lawnmower challenge will be.
We're calling on people to join with Nelson Tasman Hospice and Cancer Society Nelson Tasman as we take on this challenge as a tribute to support our local people in our care.
In 1 day, you will cover 86km... on a Ride-on Lawnmower (minus the blades).
YES! That is your challenge. To conquer the Molesworth track (from Molesworth Station to Hanmer Springs.)
Yes, it will be a long hot, dusty slog. Yes, you will be riding a lawn mower with no guts. Yes, you will laugh and curse and think you could walk faster than this (but you can't).
Yes, it will be hard, but this challenge is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to go through every day.
Join Cancer Society Nelson Tasman and Nelson Tasman Hospice and ride with us in the Mowsworth Rampage to raise money to help support our locals.
The Mowsworth Rampage is the coolest, longest, hardest and most gruelling test of endurance on a ride-on lawnmower that we know of. Are you up for the challenge?
