With the continued Covid 19 environment, and with the recent announcement that New Zealand is now in a Red Traffic Light as part of the Covid-19 Protection Framework, the team at BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge have made the tough decision to cancel its planned 19 February 2022 event.

With 5 weeks to go until the planned date for New Zealand’s largest cycling event, (traditionally held on the last Saturday in November), and after much deliberation and consultation with riders, stakeholders, event partners and others, we have made the decision to postpone this year’s BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge and move the 44th running of the event to its reserve date of 19 February 2022.
