The Kepler Challenge is a 60K race over steep mountain inclines, alpine ridges and deep forest looping around the Jackson Peaks in Te Anau, South Island, New Zealand. Total ascent / descent for the race is 1,350m which includes what's described as two steep ascents and one punishing descent.
I had planned on running this race in December 2008 as my last continent race but the entires fill up so quickly that I missed out. Disappointed at the time but I then found the North Face 100K in Australia and became friends with all of the above and had an excuse to visit my running buddy Rob who also crewed for me during the race.
Congratulations to Gretel, Tony, James and Rob on their successful completion of this event.
