We will be creating an awesome event for you right on the doorstep of Craters Mountain Bike Park.

This will be autumn mountain biking at it's absolute best Taupō’s 'White Gold' pumice soils mean that our tracks remain hard, fast and a joy to ride, whatever the weather!

Our courses are designed to showcase just some of the 60km of single track network available in Craters MTB Park and the surrounding Huka trails.

Get ready for the 2026 King & Queen of the Downhill

In 2026, the Craters Classic King & Queen of the Mountain takes a bold new twist.
We’re trading the climb for speed, it’s where good times meet fast lines!

The event is run by Bike Taupō, a charity organisation, and that means that all profits are returned to track building and maintenance. Nice one Bike Taupo
