Embark on a legendary mountain bike journey through the untamed history and landscapes of New Zealand's West Coast at the **Gold Trail - Shantytown to Moana on Saturday, January 31, 2026**. This epic 40 km ride starts at 9:30 AM from the historic Shantytown Heritage Park, sending riders down its main street—a unique annual spectacle—before traversing ancient gold trails, lush native forests, and private forestry roads en route to the stunning finish at Lake Brunner in Moana. Whether you're a first-timer or an elite rider, the course offers a challenging and beautiful adventure through some of the country's most breathtaking and untouched scenery.
The experience is capped off with a well-deserved Monteith's beer at the Moana Hotel, a celebratory prize-giving, and the knowledge that your participation supports local charities.
