The Big Bang Dirt Duathlon Series concludes with a unique nighttime event, offering a blend of mountain biking and hiking integrated with navigation and team-building challenges. Teams, which can consist of two to four members, navigate the course which is designed to not only test physical stamina but also mental acuity and cooperation among teammates.
The event spans approximately 3-4 hours, depending on team pace, and includes a series of unexpected and often humorous activities that add a lighthearted twist to the competition. The night setting of the race adds an additional layer of challenge as participants traverse the natural landscapes of Kāpiti under starlit skies, enhancing both the adventure and the need for strategic teamwork. This final race in the series encapsulates a spirited community atmosphere, where camaraderie and shared experiences are as much a part of the event as the athletic challenge.
