CurraNZ sponsors grass roots Kea Race series to help develop NZ's trail running talent

CurraNZ is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Kea Race Series and joining forces to celebrate and support the next generation of New Zealand trail running talent.

The Kea Race Series started in January at the The Goat mountain race and has rapidly become the most-talked about event in  Aotearoa’s trail running community. The mission? To nurture emerging athletes and provide opportunities for runners to develop, compete, and grow in some of the country’s most spectacular terrain.

By creating events that challenge participants while fostering a supportive environment, the series helps New Zealand trail runners unlock their potential, improve performance, and gain the experience needed to take their running to the next level.

CurraNZ shares that same commitment to helping athletes achieve their personal best. As a New Zealand-born sports nutrition brand powered by Canterbury-grown blackcurrants, CurraNZ supports endurance, recovery, and performance with products trusted by both elite and recreational athletes.

By partnering with the Kea Race Series, CurraNZ is proud to contribute directly to the growth of the sport at a grassroots and competitive level. 

INTRODUCING THE CURRANZ 'BEAST' AWARD

As part of the partnership, CurraNZ will sponsor the “Beast Run of the Day” award. This accolade celebrates the runner who demonstrates exceptional grit, determination, and standout performance on race day.

It’s not just about crossing the line first or standing on the podium - it’s about recognising runners who push boundaries, embrace challenges, and come out smiling against the odds on the trail.

Together, CurraNZ and the Kea Race Series are committed to fostering talent, celebrating achievement, and encouraging runners to reach new heights. We can’t wait to see the how this initiative will help foster trail running in NZ and support the overall growth of the sport.
