Entries for this year’s event open on 1 July and if you’re one of the first 1,000 riders to enter you’ll get our special Early Bird pricing.

A humble thanks to all the wonderful supporters who kindly donated their previous event entry fee to go to worthy Taupō community groups.

We’ve got a brand new look and feel for 2022 including a new super cool, ‘user friendly’ website. We hope you like it!

We’re beyond excited that events are back, and to be all go for this year’s BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge. Save the Date – Saturday 26 November 2022.

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.
