XCC 2022
From 8pm on Friday through to Monday afternoon you and your team of 7-10 will march through the Southern Alps – Kā Tiritiri o te Moana with up to 100 other men. You won’t be told what lies ahead, what you’ll eat, when you’ll stop or how you’ll be challenged but you can trust you’ll be met with a series of perfectly placed and demanding tasks. Each stage of the XCC is extremely intentional and designed to unearth the real you, but the details are kept a mystery on purpose; to know them, you’ll have to come and see for yourself.
‍
Have you found your limit? Well the XCC may or may not push you to your physical breaking point, and although it’s designed for men to finish it’s still been described as the hardest thing some men have ever done. But what it certainly will do is bring to the surface your blind spots, things that need dealing with, bring perspective to life and awaken the fighter in you.

WHAT IT’S NOT
This is not a men’s retreat, a walk in the park or a coffee fueled conference. There are no showers. No sofas. No bunk beds or cozy lodges. All you’ll have is your pack on your back and your team around you.

COME PREPARED
Every man will walk considerable distances over the 4 days whilst carrying a fully loaded backpack; there’s no Land Cruiser to carry you!
‍
Get training, you won’t regret it. Go for a run once a week and try to increase the length or speed each time. Why not knock out 50 squats twice a week to strengthen up those mountain knees as well?
‍
Lastly come with as light a pack as possible, leave your binoculars, hunting knife and multi-function military spade behind, they’ll only weigh you down.
