New Zealand Home Loans Backs Family Adventure Series
Kids – have you ever wondered if
your Dad can hula-hoop? Are you keen to put Mum’s
three-legged skills to the test?
Then New
Zealand Home Loans XRACE series could be your chance to find
out.
The family adventure race series sees kids team up with Mum, Dad, or a trusted adult to complete 10 mystery challenges against the clock. Think scrambling over a huge inflatable obstacle course, navigating with a blindfold or painting a Kiwiana masterpiece.
New Zealand Home Loans is the title sponsor for the 2015 XRACE series and says it is delighted to be associated with such fantastic family fun.
“The New Zealand Home Loans XRACE series is an awesome event that gets families working together and having fun,” says New Zealand Home Loans CEO Mark Collins.
“As you progress through the mystery challenges, kids and parents get to see each other in a whole new light,” says Collins.
Collins should know - he’s completed four XRACEs with his two children. “Competing alongside my kids was an inspiring experience and I loved every second.”
XRACE may be mentally and physically challenging, but it isn’t hard. The challenges are designed so that any family can take part.
Children must be aged between 7 and 12 on race day, while kids 6 and under can compete in the Nippers category.
The fastest – and luckiest – team of two will be crowned New Zealand Home Loans XRACE champion for their city. All teams have the opportunity to go on and compete in the New Zealand Home Loans XRACE New Zealand championship, regardless of where they finished in their local event.
“Our association with XRACE is about much more than just a name on a billboard,” says Collins. “XRACE fits perfectly with New Zealand Home Loans’ mission to help Kiwi families. We can’t wait to join in with the 2015 series.”
The 2015 New Zealand Home Loans XRACE series kicks off in Whangarei on Saturday 7 February. For more information or to register your team, visit www.xrace.co.nz
