Mt Cheeseman Undie 500
Date: Saturday, 1st September 2012
Location: Mt Cheeseman, Christchurch
Time: 09:30 AM-02:30 PM

Anyone can take off their clothes and climb on a surfboard in the summer sun, but it takes a particular type of fun/thrill seeker to take off their clothes and speed down a mountain in the crisp winter air.

Brave racers strip to their ‘undies’ for a mass start on the slopes. Running to their skis or snowboard they must negotiate a giant slalom course and other creative challenges down to the day lodge and the finish line.

This awesome event is for everyone, but for those who would rather watch than take part, there are plenty of vantage points along the route or be part of the finish line party. 

So grab your ThermaTech Undies and "Get Blue".
