The largest 12 hour Mountain Bike Event in the world this unique, exhilarating relay is a not to be missed event on the mountain-biking calendar.

Individuals or teams of either two/three or four/five compete over a spectacular 8km course for 12 hours between 10.30am and 10.30pm. The course has been specifically designed to cater for all ability levels and includes fast open park grounds, awesome downhills, pine needle covered forest tracks, challenging single tracks and magnificent scenery alongside the Waikato River.

There is as much action off the track as on it as the Spa Park venue is transformed into a magical tent-city where just under 3000 mountain bikers, their support crews, spectators, caterers, mechanical and refreshment providers all set up camp. They remain camped at Spa Park for the duration of the action that always provides an excess of hilarity, challenges, sweat, toil and above all a level of enjoyment second to none.
