Australasian and World Road Rescue Challenge Results Are In
18th July 2011After months of training and preparation, 23 teams from around the world turned up to the World and Australasian Road Rescue Challenges in Wellington - and faced some tough scenarios that took skill, determination, and team work to get through.
What a showing, New Zealand! We had at least one team placed in the top three in every single Australasian Event and Category - and Feilding and Morrinsville placed second and third, respectively.
The UFBA congratulates all the teams in New Zealand and beyond - competing in these Challenges shows your true commitment to learning, improving, and serving your communities well. We were honoured and delighted to host this world-class event, and sincerely hope all our international guests enjoyed their stay!
