The Course
Three dares, three disciplines, three dimensions to Rotorua!
Open to all, anyone can enter the premier multisport race and line up alongside the elite competing for individual 2017 New Zealand Multisport Champion crowns and age group medals.
We have not compromised anything to bring you an unbelievable event that showcases what Rotorua has to offer in the way of off-road recreation opportunity.
Beginning on the water with a short achievable flat-water paddle, paddle your preferred craft around one of the Rotorua region’s most beautiful fresh water lakes—Lake Tikitapu (the Blue Lake). Pushing off from a sandy beach competitors will complete two 4.5km laps close to the shore around Lake Tikitapu, flanked on their journey by native bush, beautiful beaches and Whakarewarea forest.
Leaving the water, competitors will transition to the MTB and ride up the hill straight into Whakarewarewa Forest—home to some of the world’s best MTB tracks. Spoilt for choice, riders will enjoy 30 km of the most favoured purpose built tracks including some incredible sweeping downhill runs. For the more adventurous there are plenty of opportunities to get great air.
After an adventure in the Whakarewarewa Forest and returning to Lake Tikitapu and the MTB – RUN transition there’s an awesome 10.5km trail run loop to look forward to. Stunning says it all. Heading clockwise around Lake Tikitapu, this course takes in the best soft trails one could possibly imagine. Competitors will run through native bush, ferns, stands of Eucalyptus and Douglas Fir on a truly amazing course that has some fantastic single track and forest trails and opportunities for spectator viewing. At the end of the run, individuals on the beautiful beach at the head of the lake. There there will be a gala atmosphere for all to enjoy.
