Entries are now open for the 2017 GIANT Ruapehu Express, a fresh new adventure style event that involves a Mountain bike event and a separate run/walk event in the foothills of Mount Ruapehu. The Ohakune Events Charitable Trust, the organisation behind the Ruapehu Express is also pleased to welcome GIANT as this year’s event title sponsor.

We are very pleased to announce that top NZ Endurance athlete (and Raetihi local) Nic Leary is going to compete in the 21km trail running event.

Is it really all downhill for the first 35km? YES!
