Sidekick Soda Fuels the Legendary Coast to Coast Adventure
The Coast to Coast isn’t just a race—it’s a rite of passage for endurance athletes across New Zealand and beyond. Since 1983, this iconic multisport event has challenged competitors to traverse the South Island from the West Coast to the East, covering 243km of running, cycling, and kayaking through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.
And now, Sidekick Soda is proud to announce that we’re fueling this legendary event as an official sponsor for 2025 and 2026!
A Race Like No Other
From the rugged shores of Kumara Beach to the finish line in New Brighton, Christchurch, the Coast to Coast is a test of grit, determination, and endurance. Competitors push their limits over mountain passes, through wild rivers, and across expansive plains, making it one of the most grueling yet rewarding challenges on the planet.
Whether you're a seasoned elite athlete or taking on the Two-Day race as a personal challenge, hydration and nutrition are key. That’s where Sidekick Soda comes in.
