Our sponsorship highlights our commitment to supporting family-oriented activities that bring people together across New Zealand.

About XRACE

XRACE is an exciting family event that teams a parent or caregiver with a child aged 6 to 14 to tackle an adventurous course featuring 10 mystery challenges. Held across New Zealand from February to April, XRACE is more than just a race—it's an experience that builds resilience and self-esteem.

The event is inclusive, welcoming families of all abilities and embracing diversity, including children with disabilities. XRACE challenges are crafted to test both mental and physical agility, ensuring fun and accomplishment without the use of digital devices (no phones allowed!)

It's like the Amazing Race for families, promoting sportsmanship and celebrating both victory and defeat.

How we support XRACE

Interislander has been helping XRACE to happen since 2013. We support XRACE by providing the organisers with free passage across the islands, enabling them to transport their team and equipment to events throughout the country.
