Group Challenges and Discounts

 At the Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge we’re all about getting you and your friends together for a bit of fun and camaraderie. There are plenty of reasons for your school, club, workplace or even just a group of cycling loving buddies to come together, and get riding.

✅ Group Discounts

Don’t miss out on your group discount for the 2025 Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge!

The Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge is always such an epic event, and we can promise you it’s even better when you’ve got a bunch of mates by your side. So why not get together a group of 10 or more for the weekend and, for your efforts, you’ll get a special 15% discount off the price of your entries. Now that’s a great deal!   

This year’s Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge will take place on Saturday 29th November, which gives you (and your riding buddies) plenty of time to get cracking on your training and the right amount of motivation to see you through the winter months. There will be no slacking off when you know this is on the horizon - and you’ve got a group chat to keep you in check.

Just imagine achieving a new personal best, enjoying the camaraderie of such a fantastic event, and celebrating with those who love riding just as much as you do! 

It’s easy to get your 15% discount - all you have to do is email us at info@cyclechallenge.com before entering - and we’ll send you back a unique code that’s just for you and your mates! 

Note: This special discount code is only for those in your actual group who will be riding with you. The code cannot be shared on any public platform eg newsletters, social media, websites etc. If we become aware of public use, the code may be revoked.

✅ Win $250 for your group!

Take out one of our Group, School, Corporate, or Cycling Club Challenges and you will win $250 for your group! All you have to do is be the group (Group, School, Corporate, Cycling Club) that rides the greatest total distance - so a big group doing our shorter distances could have as much chance of winning as a smaller group who take on our longer course options. The winning group will receive $250 for their group to spend how they wish be it a group meal out, to put towards your next team trip, or towards a club function.

To be in the running make sure you select that you are part of a (Group, School, Corporate, Cycling Club) when you make your online entry with the same group name (eg. Manukau Cycling Club, St. Kentigern College)

✅ Free Entry for Fundraising

We know groups and clubs love having prizes to give away, so if you’re a group of 10 or more and you’ve all entered this year’s event before the end of July, we’ll give you 1 free entry for the 2025 Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge. Give it to one of your group, use it as a prize, or raffle it off as a fundraiser - the choice is yours!

✅ Rotary Challenge

To take out the Rotary Challenge all you have to do is be the Rotary group that rides the greatest total distance - so a big group doing our shorter distances could have as much chance of winning as a smaller group who take on our longer course options. Make sure you select that you are part of a Rotary Group when you make your online entry.

✅ Fundraise For Charity

In the spirit of fundraising, each year we have heaps of riders ask if they can use the event to raise funds for charity. We’re excited to have adopted a multi-charity approach and have teamed up with Grassrootz so you can raise funds for your favourite charity.

We’re also thrilled to have Prostrate Cancer Foundation and I am Hope as hero charities for this year’s event. If you don’t have a charity of choice you can help these wonderful charities by setting up an online fundraising page and making a donation when you do your online entry. They would love your support. Learn more >>>
