RATs Winter Duathlon Series 3

The RATs Winter Duathlon Series, held at Rotorua MTB Hub, Te Putake O Tawa, features a multi-stage course consisting of an off-road run, a mountain bike ride, and another off-road run. This series is designed to cater to a wide range of ages and abilities, starting from children as young as four years old. The event encourages a mix of fun, fitness, and friendly competition, creating an inclusive atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.

The courses are set in a scenic area, allowing participants to experience the natural beauty of the surrounding forest landscape, which adds a unique and challenging element to the race. Community involvement is evident with local organizations playing a key role in the organization and execution of the event series.
