Kits & Bits Event Hire 

We’re excited to let you know about a new service available for athletes at the Wild West Backyard Ultra 2026 – Kits & Bits Events will be on-site at Easter offering pre-booked gear hire kits to make your race weekend easier.

This is especially handy for anyone travelling, those who can’t bring all their own gear, or runners who just want a smoother event-day setup.

What’s the service?

Kits & Bits Events provide ready-to-go gear hire kits that include the essentials you’d normally need to pack, transport, and set up yourself. They’ll bring it all to the event, set it up for you, and pack it away when you finish.

How it works

• You book and pay for a kit directly with Kits & Bits

• They’ll have up to 16 kits available for our event

• They will set up all booked kits before race day and check in throughout the event

• No minimum booking numbers — if you book a kit, they will be there

• Perfect for out-of-town runners or anyone wanting less admin on race weekend

How to book

You can book your kit directly through their website - https://kitsandbitsevents.co.nz
