Description

The Canterbury IRB Long Haul is on again this pre season. This event calls upon local IRB crews to
battle it out along the Canterbury coastline.

The 2022 event will again be a Stage Race, set over 8 stages (Taylors Mistake, Port Levy, Purau,
Sumner, North Beach, Spencer Park, Waimairi, New Brighton). All teams will all start together in a
Mass start, and then race side by side to the next destination, where only seconds will separate first
to last when they hit the beach to start each of the physically demanding stage challenges.

Crews will have 10 minutes to recover before the next mass start setting them on their way to the next
stage challenge. At each of the 8 stages, Crews will be required to perform a task such as assemble and break down
their equipment, perform rescues and carry out a number of other mental and/or challenging
physical exercises.
