Join the race that preserves Auckland's Island Sanctuary, Motutapu

Motutapu & Rangitoto Islands, Auckland, New Zealand

Saturday 6th April 2024

 

An award-winning day of trail adventures, The DUAL is your only opportunity to participate in an event (or to ride your own bike) on the protected island of Motutapu.

Produced in partnership with the Motutapu Restoration Trust, participation in this event contributes directly to the preservation and reforestation of Motutapu. We’ve raised over $300k to date.

With kids activities, a range of courses, and medals for all finishers there’s fun and adventure for the whole whanau. Entry numbers are limited due to the nature of these two protected islands and always sell out completely, so be sure to get in early!

We take waste seriously.

We’re working hard to reduce our environmental impact

 

We have removed disposable cups from all aid stations. Please remember your reusable cup, hydration pack or water bottle to fill up! We’ll have collapsible silicone cups available at event base for $5. 

We will also have different bins for compost, recycling and rubbish at event base. Please take care to bring all your rubbish back off the course and dispose of it properly.

 
 
 

See you there!
