Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge is a Rotary event, operated by a Charitable Trust. From its humble beginnings back in 1977, the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge has grown into one of New Zealand's largest cycling events. Traditionally held on the last Saturday each November, and with a philosophy of inclusion, the Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge offers a wide variety of options to get on your bike and be part of the annual pilgrimage to one of New Zealand’s longest and most established events. There's the iconic Round The Lake (approx. 160km), the 2 lap Enduro (approx. 320km), and the Length Of The Lake (approx.. 55km) road categories, as well as the Shimano Gravel Grind (approx. 75km) using local MTB tracks, gravel roads, farm tracks, and tar sealed roads, along with both the Huka Steamer (approx. 60km) and Huka Teaser (approx. 30km) MTB events and the 16km Lakesider recreational ride. Whether you’re a roadie, a mountain biker, a gravel junkie or just looking for a recreational ride, we’ve got something that’ll tick the box for you.
