The Contact Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge is New Zealand’s premier cycling event – a total of 12 different cycling events based around Lake Taupo.

There is an event for every level of rider – a challenging but achievable 160 kilometre ride for individual riders or teams of two, three or four can participate in the team event, which is an achievable goal for new or less experienced riders.

Cycle Challenge is also the leading provider of endurance cycling events in New Zealand. Mountain bikers enjoy riding New Zealand’s best trails in the Contact Huka MTB event. Licensed riders compete for cash prizes in the Avanti Men’s Classic and WorkoutZone Women’s road races and in the Contact Huka XL MTB race.

A fantastic array of spot prizes including a brand new Skoda adds to the excitement of the event.  Owned and organised by the Rotary Club of Taupo Moana and a dedicated committee, Cycle Challenge returns its proceeds to the local community. It is also part of the UCI Golden Bike Series.
