Pre-Race Info
It is completely up to you how much time and energy you devote towards preparing for the Motatapu but like most things, the more you prepare, the more you'll enjoy it! The things you'll need to think about before the race takes place are:
• Personal preparation (e.g. fitness & nutrition)
• Event Transport and Accommodation (often sells out)
• Mandatory Gear List & Compulsory Bike Check
• Weather Conditions (layers etc.)
Race Day Checklist
-
Mandatory Gear. All competitors must carry the mandatory gear at all times during race day
-
Transport timings & pick-up locations if booked
-
Weather appropriate clothing, plus sunscreen and cap
-
Race number attached to the front of your T-shirt if running and bike handle bars if riding.
- Enough food and drink to get you through the event.
Transport
Make your race morning transportation stress-free and book our easy shuttle service pre-event to the start line, and/or post event from the finish line. Transport cancellation requests submitted up until midday Thursday 24 February 2022 will receive a 90% refund of their transport fee. Transport cancellation requests submitted after this will receive no refund of their transport fee. Be sure to organise your transport early (as it sells out every year!), choosing your route carefully as last minute changes are usually difficult.
