Words from the founder
I’m a lifelong athlete who’s been involved in many sports over the years and have always enjoyed the lifestyle, the training, meeting new people, and helping others enjoy themselves too. From sailing since I was six years old to competing in triathlons and Ironman races all over the world, it’s been a fun ride!
With over 30 years of experience across three different engineering trades in three countries, I’ve gained a mix of skills, passion, and drive, and now I’m using that to create something special in Christchurch, New Zealand, for the multisport community.
It’s time to settle down and return home to New Zealand to start a dream, to help and inspire others to take up a positive, active lifestyle through multisport. When I got back to Christchurch and started racing Coast to Coast and connecting with local training companies, I noticed there was no dedicated facility for multisport training. No hub set up for the unique needs of this kind of sport. And that’s how the C2C Hub was born.
My passion is to build a center where everyone can find help, inspiration, professional advice, and solid training to make their journey to race day a successful one!
