It takes riders on a challenging, thrill seeking adventure of all styles of trails from Craigieburn in the Canterbury region to the famous Queenstown trails and a few stops in between.

New Zealand’s reputation in the mountain biking world is forever growing bigger and stronger as many riders from around the world flock to the Southern Hemisphere to be able to bike year round and escape the Northern Hemisphere winters. That’s why there is no better time to introduce to you the very first 5 day enduro race for New Zealand.

Native beach forest, alpine riding, roots and forest, fast and flow, loose and rocky are just some aspects of what to expect throughout the 5 days. A full array of trail styles and types have been hand selected to make sure you all experience a little bit of everything in NZ!

You may have heard of Trans Provence, Trans Savoie, Trans Andes Pacifico, these enduro races are shaping the future of multi day enduro races across the world and Trans NZ Enduro team is bringing the first one to NZ for 2015.

These types of races are about allowing avid riders to explore new mountain bike areas around the world. It’s a style of racing that you don’t have to pin it from start to finish. Only sections of the course are timed while riders get to take their time on the liaison sections and take in the magic scenery around them and socialize with other riders in the event on their way to the next timed stage. It will attract some of the serious Pro’s but mostly the avid everyday mountain bikers looking to push their limits and take on new challenges and explore new areas!
