Tertiary Challenges

What is the Tertiary Challenge?

Tertiary Challenges are a sporting competition between the tertiary institutions within a region. They are social sporting events where participation and fun are the focus. The Challenges are one day multisport events where participants will pack in as much sport as possible.

Since 2006 the Tertiary Challenge concept has extended across the country with events in the three USNZ regions Northern (North of Taupo), Central (South of Taupo) and Southern (entire South Island)
