2026 Naseby Challenge - CANCELLED event

Bike It Now and Mountain Biking Otago have collaborated to present the 22nd annual Naseby Challenge. This year marks the debut of 3-hour and 6-hour races.

We’ve crafted a 10 km loop encompassing water races, single tracks, and 4WD tracks winding through Naseby Forest and Naseby Holiday Park, catering to riders of all skill levels. Categories include Solo, Teams, Junior, School Challenge, Senior, Veteran, Men, Women, Mixed, Masters, Corporate, and Single Speed. Additionally, there’s a Class 1 eBike category (no de-restricted bikes).

The Naseby Challenge isn’t just about racing; it’s a social affair. Picture a tent village where the track weaves through and past your setup. The aim? Over 3-6 hours, ride as many laps as possible, with the individual or team completing the most laps crowned as winners. Rally your friends and secure your spot early, as entries for solos and teams are limited this year.
