217: TEAMCPNZ QUICK CONNECT EP 55 – Amy Whitehead – ‘STAY INFORMED AND STAY CONNECTED’

In our latest CP Community Connect Podcast, Richard is joined by Amy Whitehead for a great chat about adventure, challenge and community. Together they dive into Amy’s experience at the Spirited Women’s Adventure Race, her inspiring Adventure for Dementia fundraising challenge, the world of Backyard Ultra running, and the role our TEAMCPNZ Adventure Squad plays in getting people out there giving it a go. It’s a conversation full of inspiration, resilience and a real love for the adventure journey.

Welcome back to our popular Community Connect Podcast for 2026! Today I have the pleasure of talking to Kate Downer, who recently completed the 24hr True West Adventure Race. Kate is an adventure guru from way back, but over recent times, family life and a career change have meant that epic adventures haven’t been on the radar.

The True West Adventure Race on the West Coast has been the goal over the past year, so today we get to discuss how it went and how she got there.

The Mackenzie 2026 – Season 1 – CPNZMedia Live

Steeped in big-screen-worthy history and wrapped in the raw beauty of the high country… The Mackenzie by Devold is back for 2026 , and we’re kicking off the season.

The Mackenzie Region is alive with legendary tales – pioneers, shepherds, wide open plains and the kind of rugged determination that shapes both land and people.

From station tracks to rolling hills, every turn of this course connects you to something bigger than just a bike ride.

– Ride the story.

– Feel the heritage.

– Be part of the legend.

In this episode we chat with Race Director Kerry Uren about what’s different for 2026, what riders can expect on course, and what’s shaping up to be another epic autumn in the high country.

We’re also joined by Gareth Brouwer, who’s taking on the 97km Bayleys | The Muster – Loop of Lake Tekapo For one day only, riders gain access to private high country stations, circling one of New Zealand’s most scenic lakes. Gareth shares what he’s most looking forward to and the race vibes building for this year.
