NEW DATE

The Hikuwai 4 Hour mountain and gravel bike race is less than a month away on the new date of Saturday, 11 December, between 9.00am - 1.00pm. Based at the Outlet Camp Wānaka, riders race the full Hikuwai Loop. The course takes riders of all abilities over three bridges, then through the densely covered trail to the top of the loop at Norm’s Rest. It’s then a fast, fun descent toward Albert Town and through some of the lesser-known trail gems.
FOR SALE
Weather permitting, the course traverses upper Rockabilly Gulch and then a more swift single track back to Norm’s Rest, where riders once again have spectacular views of the Clutha River. From there a flowing traverse through the forest and kanuka to the Outlet Camp Wānaka.
The event is open to both solo riders, 18 plus and teams of two or more over the age of 10. Bike Wānaka would like to thank the Outlet Camp Wānaka and the many local businesses supporting the inaugural event. Special thanks to all of the volunteers that have dedicated their time maintaining and ‘tickling up’ the trails for everyone to enjoy.
