Waihi - "New Zealand's Heart of Gold", and Waihi Beach - "It's About Time", provide the impressive backdrop for the iconic annual Nugget Multisport Festival. You'll take an unforgettable adventure from Waihi's charming town centre to the spectacular harbour and coast at Waihi Beach, before returning via breathtaking trails to the rim of the mighty Martha Mine and our sp

ectacular finish line under the shadow of the Cornish Pumphouse in central Waihi. Along the way you'll ride through quiet country roads, paddle the beautiful harbour and run along remote rocky coastlines and cliff-tops to hidden beaches. After "the Hill" you'll mountain bike through rolling farm land and sweet single-track before your final run inside the mighty Martha Mine open pit. The Nugget began in 2010 and is now well established in the New Zealand multisport calendar. It brings you all that's great about being outdoors and active, and rolls it into an event that everyone can be part of. You'll find the Full Nugget Multisport Race, Half Nugget Duathlon, 21km Adventure Run and the 10km or 5km Off-Road Run/Walk events... we really do have something for everyone! Combine all this with the carnival atmosphere at the magnificent finishing arena under the Cornish Pumphouse and you're set for an awesome weekend. Come and discover gold at The Nugget Multisport Festival in Waihi and Waihi Beach.
