One New Zealand GODZONE kicks off this week with hundreds of adventure racers from New Zealand and around the world travelling to Te Anau and Fiordland for the eleventh chapter of the event. One New Zealand (formerly known as Vodafone) is proud to be a title sponsor for the event, supporting the racers/support staff on the ground and the viewers following along at home.
Director of Experience and Commercial, Joe Goddard, is stoked to be see international racers back in beautiful Aotearoa. “Covid-19 enforced a hiatus for the international racers to GODZONE, so we’re glad to see them back on board to help make this year’s race a success. Although my money is on the Lucas brothers and the Tiki Tour Adventure Racing Team to win the event for the first time this year. A big thank you to our network teams at Vodafone NZ (soon to be One New Zealand!) who have been very busy improving our network in places like Te Anau and Fiordland which will be a godsend for crews on the ground at this year’s event”
At One NZ, we like to get stuck in as a hands-on sponsor and some of the various ways we are supporting this race include:
- Hosting a breakfast to kick off the race for athletes and supporters down on the ground.
- SIM cards loaded with free data and calling for media at the event.
- Upgraded connectivity in Te Anau and Fiordland, including adding 5G in some places as part of our regular yearly upgrades. You can check this out through our coverage map here.
- Goodie bags and supplies for those on the ground.
Race Director Warren Bates says it’s fantastic having One NZ as the title sponsor for GODZONE Chapter 11. “Thank you One NZ, it’s great to have you on board as we spend the next few days exploring the great adventure playground of Fiordland, and showcasing the action to New Zealand and the world.”
