Discover the exhilarating world of adventure racing as we sit down with Andy Magness, a seasoned competitor and race director, who takes us through his journey from alpinism to conquering the endurance racing scene. Inspired by the legendary Eco Challenge of the 90s, Andy and his brother Jason found their passion during their first major race, Primal Quest, which led to the creation of the Magnificent Adventure Race in New Zealand's South Island. With a strong emphasis on navigation and diverse terrains, Andy shares his mission to rekindle New Zealand's presence on the international adventure racing circuit, especially after the conclusion of the renowned Godzone race.Join us as we venture into New Zealand's vibrant Southland region, where an upcoming adventure race will feature over 40 teams from across the globe, including contenders from Japan, Europe, and North America. The integration of local Iwi and rural heritage promises a unique cultural experience, and we're particularly excited about a talented youth team from New Zealand poised to leave a mark on the international stage. https://www.themagnificentnz.com/Thanks for listening to The Outlet.
