Big Bang Dirt Duathlon Race 3 2026 (Night)

Kāpiti serves as the setting for the Big Bang Dirt Duathlon Race 3 2026 (Night), the third and final event in a dirt duathlon series described as “like no other.” This race focuses on the head-torch aspect of the sport: taking place off-road after dark, it offers more of an adventure puzzle than a straightforward run from start to finish. You compete in teams of 2, 3, or 4, traveling by foot and bike through a combination of "mountain biking, hiking, navigation, team building," and other elements determined by the organizers. The most accurate description also functions as the best sales pitch: anticipate "surprise (potentially grubby but normally quirky and funny) activities" during the course. Participants should bring sturdy legs, lights, and an acceptance of lighthearted absurdity.
