Porirua Grand Traverse
About the event
The Porirua Grand Traverse on April 4, 2027, invites athletes of all ages and abilities to explore the city's stunning outdoor playground. This multisport festival features three main events: a 12km kayak journey through serene waters, a challenging 32km mountain bike ride along spectacular single-track trails, and an exhilarating 21km mountain run that winds through native bush, farmland, and rugged coastline. Participants can also choose the 53km Duathlon for those preferring more cycling and running without paddling. For newcomers or families looking to join in, there are fun options including a 10km Fun Run/Walk and a scenic 12km Fun Bike ride. Race HQ is located at Kai Tahi Food Hall on Parumoana Street, offering secure bag storage, food vendors, and a recovery area for post-race relaxation. All finishers receive medals, with additional prizes awarded during the prize-giving ceremony. Early entry guarantees lower fees and more time to prepare for this unforgettable adventure in Porirua.
