After celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2024, Rotorua returns with a full slate of events, including the return of Downhill racing to the slopes of Mount Ngongotahā, Skyline Rotorua on a brand-new track. Direct flights between the two mountain bike hubs make it the ultimate combo for athletes hopping between the New Zealand stops of Christchurch and Rotorua.
“As a Rotorua tangata whenua, I look forward to racing here because it’s the only race my parents and family really get to enjoy with me,” said 2023 King of Crankworx Tuhoto-Ariki Pene. “Every other race I do is too far away from home, so it’s good that they get to see me rip down my maunga and for them to enjoy the festival as well.” With a stacked lineup of both local and international talent, Crankworx Rotorua promises once again to deliver a unique and memorable experience for all.
