Photo: Mountain SceneAfter 25 years, iconic Queenstown multisport race Peak to Peak has had a baton handover. 100% Pure Racing, which also runs New Zealand and Australia’s Red Bull Defiance, bought Peak to Peak through its new subsidiary, Active Tonic, and hired local event specialist Adrian Bailey to run it. What’s NZ’s longest-running winter multisport event started in 1994 after Hunt was asked to create a Winter Festival event linking the skifields. Bailey says that having it after night skiing’s finished gives Coronet Peak greater flexibility to host the event finish and prizegiving.
