The Goat isn’t just about the challenge, it is also about the special place that makes it all possible.
We’re proud to support organisations doing incredible mahi on and around the Tongariro National Park, and we encourage our entrants to donate directly to these causes where they can. This means more of your contribution goes straight to where it’s needed most.
Rather than adding a donation through your event entry like in previous years (which incur additional fees), we encourage you to donate directly to these organisations.
It’s simple, and it ensures more of your contribution goes straight to supporting their mahi.
Helping protect and restore the unique environment of the Tongariro region, Project Tongariro plays a vital role in preserving the landscapes we’re lucky enough to run through.
If you’d like to give back, you can support their native tree planting initiatives by donating to support their ongoing conservation work across the region.
The Ruapehu Emergency Services Charitable Trust supports the incredible emergency response teams who help keep people safe on the maunga.
From search and rescue to on-mountain assistance, their work is essential to events like The Goat and the wider outdoor community.
