Karapoti has something for you. The "Kids' 5k Klassic" is a perfect intro to mtn biking for primary school ages. But if you're keen for something more, the "20k Challenge" will give you a taste of the Karapoti experience.
It's great to have Gazley ŠKODA backing Karapoti for the fourth year. They signed on in 2020 & stayed right beside us during covid via their support local campaign. You'll find them at 38 Kent Terrace Wgtn, 64 Victoria Street LH, and 109 Rimu Road Paraparaumu... Or visit Them Here.
Didymo and the new Freshwater Gold Clam are very real threats to NZ waterways. Please make sure your bikes are cleaned prior to race day and put them through the bio-security washes on Sunday at Sladden Pk when you line up your bikes at the start of the mtb bike section...
