  The Event

Don't miss this unique, exhilarating Mountain Bike Relay event. This was the largest MTB event in New Zealand last year with over 3,000 riders.

Individuals, teams of two/three or four/five compete on an 8km, 30 minute circuit over 12 hours from 10.30am to 10.30pm or 6 hours from 10.30am to 4.30pm. Both grades ride the same circuit which has been specifically designed for the event to cater for riders of all ability levels.

The track includes fast open park grounds, awesome downhill, pine needle covered forest tracks, challenging single tracks and magnificent scenery including the mighty Waikato River.

A popular option for kids is the Hell Pizza Little Devils Ride. An exciting 7km ride starting at 9.15am and riding one lap of the Day Night track through tent city to the finish line. This is an amazing experience open to little devils aged between 8-13 years. The ride is supervised by experienced mountain bike riders.
