On Saturday 3 May 2025, Around Brunner has some exciting changes, with a change to the historic route for the road race and enduro, as well as the introduction of the Around Brunner Gravel race as well on the same day.
This will mean we have 3 different events running on 3 May: Around Brunner Road race 140km; Around Brunner Enduro Race 280km; Around Brunner Gravel 108km.
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 and a cold Monteith’s Beer at the finish.
Around Brunner is now in its 18th year and 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. The gravel ride will require e-bike riders to carry a spare charged battery. 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. With the ride now being 140km and 280km on the road and the new Gravel Ride being 108km.
