Physical activity events of any nature provide competitors with the opportunity to test their abilities against others, face a challenge they’ve set themselves, take time out to compete with friends, family, or colleagues, and visit new places around New Zealand.
Massey University knows the positive outcomes from events such as the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge Series, and has recently signed on as the naming rights sponsor for the Secondary School Tough Guy and Gal Challenge for 2022 and 2023.
Jacob Oram, Sport Advancement Manager, is excited the university has chosen to be part of the events. “This is a great opportunity for the university to partner with an event that sees participants across a range of ages and abilities challenge themselves in a unique and enjoyable race.
“For the past two years the Manawatū campus has hosted the Palmerston North Junior event, which has seen an amazing number of committed young runners descend on Massey’s fields, farms and the Community Athletic Track. The engagement between the wider community and the university is something that Massey values highly, so the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge is a fantastic vehicle to strengthen that connection.”
