The "Matairangi Trail Builders" have also generously volunteered their time behind the scenes to ensure everything goes off without a hitch 

Entries will be open soon, race day is the 1st of February with the 2nd of February as a rain day. More details to follow... 

Categories: Gender Diverse, Men & Women - U10, U13, U16, U19, Open, M1, M2 & M3 and E-Bike.

RACE FORMAT

4 race stages, + 1 non-mandatory joker stage

The compulsory stages will be a mixture of Hippy’s, V, A, TTS, Super D, Bombhole, Park Bench, Groms (or Rock Drop). If you manage to take the win at the joker stage, you will be crowned the unofficial King/Queen of Matairangi.

Stages 1- 4 is the timed course, for under 13s TTS is optional.

You will have four hours to complete all stages. No shuttles, no hand-ups, walking optional.

Stages can be done in any order, and may be repeated up to three times if you think you can improve your time - the fastest run will be taken. You must be back before cut-off time.

Bonus:

At the race village there will be mini-games to keep everyone entertained between stages, while taking a break or once you are cooked. There will be prizes involved to keep things competitive.

SERVICES ON-SITE AT THE EVENT VILLAGE

The event village will be a hive of activity, with water, toilets, mechanical support, food and coffee, first aid, tunes, and games.
