Highlight of the Auckland J-Day was the inaugural 2001 NORML/Switched On Gardener Growers Ironman. Contestants had to carry sacks of worm castings down a hill, round a lampost, up a hill, through the D shaped statue, and back the way the came, before doing the same course carrying a bucket of water. Just like guerilla growing in the NZ bush! First one back won a SonT Agro 400W growlight from the Switched On Gardener, and all the finalists got to take home their sack of worm castings, a copy of Cannabis Culture and a NORML calendar.

Going through the statues proved to be a bottleneck, but it gave supporters the chance to cheer them on.
