EventsKarapoti ClassicPaul started this race in 1986 when it was the first national mountain bike race. He called it the National Off Road Bicycle Championships and 48 people turned up. Now it attracts more than 1000 riders. We sold the event in 2005 and now enjoy just racing in it. In 2010 we re-ran the original course. See those results.
