With the incredible Love Taupō CBD transformation now complete, we couldn't be more thrilled to be returning back to the heart of the CBD. This year the start and finish lines will be back on Tongariro Street, and the Tongariro North Domain will be buzzing with our Event Village and it's epic post ride experience on event day!

As part of our effort for both the event and our attendees to be more sustainable, we’ve introduced the Bring Your Own Drop Bag initiative to this year’s event.

Taupō local and Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge veteran, Libby O’Brien recently had the privilege of sitting down for a chat with two of our awesome Cycle Challenge ambassadors, Bryony Botha and Ian Jones. Catch up on their convo here…

It’s an icon on the Great Lake Taupō events calendar; this year marks the 45th anniversary of one of New Zealand’s longest standing and most popular cycling events and we’re hoping it will showcase the Taupō community spirit better than ever!

When you join us for the Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge, you're not only enjoying a fantastic ride, but you're also supporting a cause that gives back. We're a Rotary event, and every surplus we generate goes right back into our community. Find out how you can get involved for our milestone 45th year.

Whether you're riding with friends, a club, or a team, we have some fantastic hospitality packages tailored to make your post-ride celebrations truly unforgettable.

Did you know that you can turn your ride into a fundraiser? Lots of charities could really use your support, and every dollar helps.

Interested in putting your product or service in the spotlight at our expo? Join us at the Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge Expo which will be held on Friday 24th November at the Great Lake Centre.
