With entries capped at 1,000 for the race’s first year, The Pioneer will be within reach for those with a moderate level of mountain bike riding ability, but will not be for the “faint hearted.”
The Pioneer - New Bike Race Launched in New Zealand
For those who love to travel the world around biking events, The Pioneer is an audacious, seven-day mountain bike stage race for elite and amateur athletes alike. It takes riders (in teams of two) through the best of New Zealand’s spectacular landscape – along trails that few ever get to enjoy – and is following in the footsteps of New Zealand’s early explorers.
