WHAT IS AN XCC?

From Friday night through Monday afternoon, you and your team of 8-15 will march through the Southern Alps - Kā Tiritiri o te Moana with up to 100 other men. You won’t be told what lies ahead, what you’ll eat or when you’ll stop, but you can trust you’ll be met with a series of profound challenges along the way. Each stage of the XCC is extremely intentional and designed to unearth the real you, but the details are kept a mystery on purpose; to know them, you’ll have to come and see for yourself.

The XCC may or may not push you to your physical breaking point, and although it’s designed for men to finish it’s still been described as the hardest thing some men have ever done. But what it’s certain to do is bring to the surface your blind spots, things that need dealing with, bring perspective to life and awaken the fighter in you.

You will finish the XCC and discover your capacity to do more together. You will grapple with tools for being a better husband, father, brother, son & friend. You will have stronger convictions and greater resolve for leading & impacting the world around you. You will be inspired to fight for justice. You will see the need for more men of action in this world. You will not leave the same.
