Kirstine Collins

Background

I have always been active with sport while growing up in the Waikato and was involved in running, soccer, equestrian one day events and orienteering as a NZ representitive. After a major injury that stopped me being able to play soccer I tried rugby, mountaineering, caving and mountain running. In 2004 a friend did the Coast to Coast and inspired me to give multisport a try and I was hooked. The next year I completed the Coast to Coast and started to dabble in adventure racing. After winning the first couple of races and thoroughly enjoying the unique challenges of the sport I decided to make adventure racing my main sport.
