TAUPO

Entry forms are now available for the largest 12 hour Mountain Bike Event in the world – the Jamis Day Night Thriller.

Held at Taupo’s Spa Park on the 12th September this unique, exhilarating relay is a “not to be missed” event on the mountain-biking calendar.

Individuals or teams of two/three or four/five compete over an exciting 8km course for 12 hours between 10.30am and 10.30pm or 6 hours between 10.30am and 4.30pm.

The Jamis Day Night Thriller also features the Hell Pizza Little Devils Ride, a non-competitive 7km ride for kids starting at 9.15am and riding one lap of the Day Night track through tent city to the finish line.
Supervised by experience mountain bikers this is an amazing experience for Little Devils aged between 8 and 13 years of age.

Both the 12 hour and 6 hour events are held on the same course that is designed to suit riders of all ability levels. The track includes fast open parkland, awesome downhills, challenging single tracks, pine needle covered forest tracks and spectacular scenery alongside the mighty Waikato River.

Competition, for all grades will be as hot as ever with a great selection of spot prizes up for grabs.

There is as much action off the track as on it as Spa Park is transformed into a magical “tent-city” where over 3000 mountain bikers and their support crews all set up camp. They remain at the venue for the duration of the action that always provides hilarity, challenges, sweat, toil and above all – a level of enjoyment second to none.

Make sure you are part of the action; join the excitement, the thrills and the buzz of the Jamis Day Night Thriller.

Entry forms are available now from cycle shops, fitness centres or from the Event Promotions website www.eventpromotions.co.nz.
