DetailsThe event has stringent regulations as a result of it doubling as the national championships. The course is possibly the flattest in New Zealand, no uphills on the bike (but no downhills either). Both the bike and run courses are two laps. I set my PB on this course.
This event sells out within hours, if not minutes of entries opening in June.
