Mayoral Cycle Challenge

The Mayoral Challenge is a national competition that is run as part of Bikewise Month - an initiative of the New Zealand Transport Agency. It consists of a short cycle course (in our case, 2km along the glorious Orewa beach front) led by our Mayor Penny Webster, and local VIPs. We hold a free carnival and prize giving afterwards with entertainment and food and beverage stalls. It's a great day out for families and for anyone who loves to hang out at our beaches! This year Waiwera Thermal Resort are offering a free pass to their pools for the day for all kids who enter the challenge!

The competition has been running for about 4 years and has become well known in the Rodney District. In 2008 we won the competition for the whole of New Zealand and last year, despite coming second to New Plymouth, we had our highest number of participants and supporters ever - we estimate 5000 people attended the event! So come along for some free fun and help us win back the title of NZ's most cycle mad city!

Registration is from 9am on the day - 28th of Feb or you can pre register by filling out this form (PDF) and emailing or posting to Claire Flattery or Private Bag 500, Orewa.
