Peak to Pub Multisport Race 2026

High on the slopes of Mt Hutt, the Peak to Pub Multisport Race begins with a mass start ski, quickly becoming a multisport challenge rather than a straightforward running event. It offers a true mountain-to-town journey: ski legs first, followed by biking, and then tired legs seeking rhythm after the descent. The middle section consists of an MTB descent down the access road, requiring comfort with speed, weather, and changing surfaces before the run commences. The final run incorporates road, trail, water, and potentially mud, providing the kind of varied finish favored by multisport athletes. New Zealand's top multi-sporters compete alongside enthusiastic amateurs seeking fun and personal triumph, a mix that defines the event's character.
