Rides and Events
ITMC-NZ runs two open events a year – the Thunder Run held each November and the Dice Run held each March. Both these rides are open to the public with back patches by prior arrangement. Some of the funds raised are donated to ITMC-NZ’s chosen charity – Saving Hope Foundation.
The Saving Hope Foundation is a fully registered Charitable Trust set up in July 2017. It is a dog rescue and rehabilitation organisation whose rescue operation is experiencing exponential growth that won’t stop anytime soon because of the huge demand and need for its services. Since its commencement Saving Hope has rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed well over 1,000 dogs and puppies and the number keeps growing daily.
100% of the Surplus (Income less Expenses) from the 2024 Thunder Run was paid to Saving Hope Foundation
