Big Bang Dirt Duathlon Race 1

Taking place somewhere in the Horowhenua/Kapiti area, the first event in a three-race series keeps its course details guarded. The Big Bang Dirt Duathlon Race 1 is designed as a "mini adventure race" where part of the enjoyment comes from discovering your route as you go. You participate as a team of 2, 3, or 4 and will navigate a "top secret course on foot and bike." This involves a mix of mountain biking, hiking, and making strategic route decisions, rather than simply following markers. It sounds like the kind of off-road event where collaboration is as important as physical endurance, and where precise navigation can be more time-saving than pushing hard on every ascent.
