Arista of Rotorua is the ideal accommodation choice for the Crankworx Mountain Bike festival being held in Rotorua next March

The announcement that the world's biggest mountain festival, Crankworx, will be held in Rotorua for the next three years has been welcomed by leading Rotorua moteliers Mike and Annemarie Gallagher.

“This is very exciting news for Rotorua and recognises of the growth of mountain biking in this area,” Mike Gallagher said.

“The benefit to the local region and the economy of this event is going to be huge,” said Mike Gallagher.

Crankworx Rotorua brings with it the best mountain biking pro-athletes for competitions, concerts and culture.

Rotorua will be a part of the Pump Track series, with Speed and Style, Slopestyle, Downhill and Enduro events over the five days.

It is estimated that around 750 riders will take part in the five-day festival, of which 80 per cent are likely to be overseas riders from the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Japan and Australia.

Crankworx will make its way to Rotorua from March 25-29, 2015 and Arista of Rotorua will be among the accommodation choices for those participating or being a specatator at this prestigious event.

There will also be a raft of other events surrounding the festival for amateur and non-bikers, including a soon-to-be-announced music festival featuring top New Zealand artists.

Skyline's Mountain Bike Gravity Park will host the mountain biking events, with Eat Streat the second base of action for the music festival, prize-giving and competitions.

Run in conjunction with Canadian owners Crankworx Events Incorporated (CEI), the local festival operator and organiser will be not-for-profit company Mountain Bike Events Ltd, a public-private joint venture of Rotorua District Council, Skyline Rotorua and Tak Mutu.

Mr Mutu, event director and owner of Multi-Day Adventures and Mountain Bike Rotorua, said Crankworx was the best it got for mountain biking.
