Whaka100 MTB Marathon

Whaka100 MTB Marathon Haere mai! Welcome to the Whaka100 MTB Marathon, New Zealand's premier MTB event with some of the best trails in the world! You’ll most probably do both.

Whatever your challenge, there is a distance for you. With fun family events and mini-events to fill your weekend with the best riding, this is one to remember.
