Designed to be one of the toughest 100 mile events in the world, the riders of Whaka Miler are in for the challenge of a lifetime with a limited of 100 riders
Setting off pre-dawn in the mists of a waking forest, you'll be riding 169km of the best singletrack in New Zealand. Technical terrain, flowing descents and over 5,100m of (in)famous stem-chewing climbs. Unlike other Miler events around the world, our course is predominantly single track, testing your mental as well as physical resolve.
Only the most determined athletes will make it to the finish within the 15 hour race window. Do you have what it takes defeat the Whaka Miler? Remember, pain is temporary but glory is forever.
