Tour de Gym 2021!
Date: Tuesday 4 May - Wednesday 26 May
Location: Recreation Centre, 70 Stanley Street
The Tour de France is an annual multi- stage cycling race that traverses the French countryside over 23 days. Started in 1903, the course covers 3,500 kilometres with 21 days of racing and milestones along the way.
Mimic the Tour de France by completing 10% or 5% of each stage over 3 weeks as part of a team, pair or as an individual! (maximum of up to 6 people in a team). The race will take within the University of Auckland Recreation Centre (70 Stanley Street). Each leg will be done on the Watt Bikes, which gives a more realistic feel of riding an actual bike. There are no set times that you need to complete each leg, you just need to to complete each leg within the start and finish dates. If you aren't a Rec Centre member you will be given access to complete this.
Registrations are $5 each and all proceeds are donated to the NZ Cancer Society. The winner of each category will be given a yellow jersey, just like the Tour de France winners! Spot prizes will also be given out at the end of the race.
This is a great event to push you to your limits and improve your cardio fitness. Just like the Tour de France, the Tour de Gym is completed over 23 days with only 2 rest days. As an individual the race can be quite a commitment, but as a team it can be a bit easier. If you do not have a team, but wish to join one, let us know if the form and we'll look to make sure you've got a team to jump in with.
* Please note, everyone in your team/pair must complete the form.
