Trans NZ Enduro

Trans NZ Enduro

The Trans NZ Enduro is a 6 day all inclusive Enduro event that will take riders over some of the best trails on the South Island of NZ. It takes riders on a challenging adventure of all styles of trails from Craigieburn in the Canterbury region to the famous Queenstown trails and a few stops in between of seeing how far you can push your limits.

Over the course of six days, riders will traverse diverse terrains, from alpine ridgelines to native beech forests, experiencing a variety of trail styles including high-speed flow, steep rock slabs, and rooty descents. Each day involves approximately 20–30 km of riding, with 4–6 timed stages ranging from 3 to 15 minutes each. Participants can expect to climb between 900–1,500 meters daily and descend over 2,000 meters, totaling more than 14,000 meters of descent throughout the event. ​

The event is designed for riders with solid technical skills, as many trails are graded between Grade 4 and Grade 5, featuring challenging climbs, narrow tracks, and various obstacles. While the racing is competitive, the Trans NZ Enduro emphasizes camaraderie and exploration, with liaison stages allowing riders to enjoy the scenery and socialize. ​

Registration opens on June 10, 2025, at 9:00 AM Auckland Time. Given the event’s popularity and its final edition status, spots are expected to fill quickly. Participants can choose from three packages: All-Inclusive Triple Share, All-Inclusive Twin Share, or Self-Supported, each offering varying levels of accommodation and support. ​
