2026 Mana Noctourno (23 May 2026)

Sat, 23 May 2026 05:15:00 GMT

The mana cycle group and the wmtbc are pleased to invite you to the SECOND mana noctourno.

‍MCG Noctourno is here!

Lights on. Adrenaline up. Let’s ride in the dark.

Mana Cycle Group invites you to an evening gone dark... The MCG Noctourno: Enduro after dark at Rangituhi / Spicer.

Bring your sense of adventure, your best mates, and your brightest lights… because the trails are about to come alive under the night sky.

Whether you're chasing the clock to be crowned King or Queen of the Hill, or just out for a fun, social shred with your mates, this is your chance to test your skills, push your limits, and enjoy MTB in a whole new light.

Fast lines, dark trails, big vibes.

Ride solo or with your crew.

We kindly request that all U16 be supervised at this event. We want this to be a fun event, and believe having an adult for U16 is responsible for everyone on the hill.
U16 riders MUST ride with /be chaperoned by, an adult (in small groups ok), who can be responsible for their whereabouts on the trails in the dark.
These adults do not need to be registered, however please let organisers know you are going to ride if you don't wish to race so we can account for numbers.

Challenge yourself or just soak up the fun.

Get your lights charged, your bike dialled, and your crew ready. Glow
sticks and fluorescent get up encouraged!

This is one night you won’t want to miss.

Please be respectful of residents and driveways in Kiwi Crescent.

The stages will be released shortly before the race.
