2019 saw Around Brunner have a major change, with the Start and Finish being at Moana Hotel Lake Brunner. This changed the race significantly and eliminates a number of traffic issues in central Greymouth.

This Iconic west Coast event should be on everyone’s bucket list and an event you just want to keep coming back too. With the start and Finish in the small township of Moana on the banks of Lake Brunner, it is an amazing setting for a bike race and to enjoy the West Coast hospitality.

In 2023, both the Around Brunner 130km and Enduro 260km will be held.

This fantastic event is in its 16th year.

Around Brunner caters for all competitors from the Elite rider through to the Recreational Rider with age group categories throughout. We’ll even cater for those that want to ride their e-Bike in the event, as this keeps so many riders active. Riding an e-Bike means you’re non-competitive but still doing the event and eligible for spot prizes.

Around Brunner started as a 130km sealed circuit cycle ride taking you through some of the most stunning scenery New Zealand has to offer. In 2015 the Enduro, 2 laps of the traditional ride being 260km was introduced and in 2019 the change of the start/finish to Moana Lake Brunner.

The Teams event will still be held with the changeover at Kumara Domain. The old Taramakua Bridge has some fond memories for a lot of riders.
