And note that the team includes our village of helpers, pā metua, orometua, costume makers, wellbeing carers, kaikai, hair and makeup, drivers, promoters, fundraisers, sponsors, and more.

Whilst we can only take a total of 120 people in the team, we welcome ALL supporters and will need all your help to get the team ready so we can put our best team through.

Please come prepared ready to go. We have 16-17 weeks to prepare, and we need to be competition ready and have fun doing it.
