Challenge Wānaka Duathlon

Challenge Wānaka Duathlon offers the mountain bike and trail run components of an off-road multisport event set in Wānaka’s rugged landscape. It is designed for athletes seeking the 45K bike and 14K trail run stages, excluding the Clutha River kayak leg. The full event includes a 25K kayak on the Clutha River preceding the 45K mountain bike and 14K trail run. The duathlon, however, remains entirely on land. Participants in the duathlon can compete individually or in pairs, with the course utilizing local trails and open terrain instead of paved roads.
