Coast to Coast Two Day
The same 243-kilometre crossing as the Longest Day — the ride inland, the mountain run over Goat Pass, the Waimakariri paddle and the run to the Pacific — split into two stages with a night at Klondyke Corner in the middle. It is the version most competitors do first, and the one that lets a whole family take part in the same event across a weekend.
Splitting the day does not make the Southern Alps any smaller: the Goat Pass leg is the same unmarked river bed and the same weather. This page belongs to the 2027 edition of the Two Day. On Livebib, the crew follows the athlete across both stages on one map, with the transitions marked and an arrival estimate for the next one that keeps updating.
