The triumphant return of aro valley's favourite enduro
After a two year gap, the Wellington Enduro returns to the swooping trails of Aro Valley and Te Kopohau. Previously known as the Polhill Enduro, we're honoured to announce the Waimapihi Enduro (named after the original Māori name for the area).
As with previous years, we'll have a hard and an intermediate course, with all starting up at the top of Hawkin's Hill. We'll provide a shuttle much of the way up the hill, multiple timed stages, and a "king and queen of the hill" award for the fastest male and female riders (with some epic bragging right keepsakes).

RACE COURSE
Intermediate - Will be announced closer to the time, and will be suitable for riders happy with intermediate level trails
Hard - Faster, harder, and a wee bit more of an adventure. Anticipate a little bit more riding
Each rider will be provided with a shuttle uplift from Aro Valley at least as far as the Wind Turbine (we're negotiating for access higher up the hill), where the first stage will start.
**NOTE** Wellington Enduro Series points will only be available for those racing in the Advanced category only!
