Mowsworth Rampage 2025
October 18
Saturday 18th October 2025 – Join us on the Mowsworth Rampage Challenge!
The Mowsworth Rampage is an endurance ride on ride-on lawnmowers going through the Molesworth to Hanmer Springs.
You’ll ride 86kms and you’ll also make a difference by raising both awareness and funds for Nelson Tasman Hospice and the Cancer Society Nelson Tasman. Planned pitstops along the route will provide refreshments and an opportunity to catch up with other participants and friends.
It’s not for the faint-hearted.
In 1 day, you will cover 86km… on a Ride-on Lawnmower (minus the blades).
YES! That is your challenge. To conquer the Molesworth track (from Molesworth Station to Hanmer Springs.)
Yes, it will be a long hot, dusty slog. Yes, you will be riding a lawn mower with no guts. Yes, you will laugh and curse and think you could walk faster than this (but you can’t).
Yes, it will be hard, but this challenge is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to go through every day.
