February 21 will see many athletes merge on Wanaka for the Wanaka Skyline Challenge - 1340m vertical climb. Definitely not for the faint hearted, the Wanaka Skyline Challenge will start in the middle of Wanaka and follow the Millennium Track to Slaughter House Creek, then head West to the Mt Roy track. After summiting Mt Roy the course continues to Mt Alpha and Hillend and finishes at Pemboke Park.
If you are considering coming to Wanaka to compete in the Challenge but haven’t booked your accommodation yet check out the Apollo Lodge and Apartment. Situated at 8 Apollo Place, in a quiet street just minutes walking distance from town, it suits both large and small groups. The lodge sleeps 12 people and the adjoining apartment sleeps five to seven people. Both the lodge and the apartment have cooking facilities, heating and comfortable beds, made up ready for your arrival. For more information look on our website.
