❤️ Supporting the Trails
The Craters Classic is proudly run by Bike Taupō , a charity celebrating 30 years of dedication to cycling.
👉 Every dollar of profit goes straight back into trail building and maintenance, helping keep these incredible tracks in top shape for everyone.
The Craters Classic medals are made from fully recycled materials, reducing waste while giving riders a meaningful keepsake from the day. In fact, each medal prevents two plastic bottles from entering our waterways! That means every finisher is not just completing an incredible ride; they are also making a small positive impact on the environment.
🎯 Why You Should Be There
Whether you're riding, supporting, or just enjoying the vibe, this is shaping up to be our best event yet.
Join us for:
- A great ride
- A great day out
- And an even greater cause
