Welcome to the Kaiapoi Classic Multisport Race & Duathlon
The Kaiapoi Promotion Association is delighted to announce the return of this very popular multisport event. The Kaiapoi Classic has been on hold since the September 2010 earthquake. As we rebuild our community this great event will offer some normality during the post earthquake recovery phase.
So darn your running socks, dig out and dust off your old kayak or surf-ski, borrow your kid's mountainbike and come have some fun with us this November.
What makes this event different?
The Kaiapoi Classic is a fun and enjoyable event that is designed to be shared with friends, work colleagues and family. Each stage is designed to be easy enough for the weekend athlete and first-timer, yet provide a challenge for the more serious competitor.
It is one of the few "short-course" multisport events featuring mountainbiking rather than roadbiking.
What's more, all transitions for the Kaiapoi Classic take place in the same area. This means support crews can sit and relax by the banks of the picturesque Kaiapoi River and enjoy the food stalls, live music and kids entertainment.
The whole of Kaiapoi gets behind this event, with local businesses donating a plethora of spot prizes, and many Kaiapoi clubs and volunteer organisations provide a virtual army of helpers.
