Supporting our Taupō community

Written By Kim Manunui

Join us in celebrating the Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge as it gears up for its 46th year! As New Zealand’s longest-standing cycling event, it brings together thousands of riders and supporters, showcasing the vibrant spirit of our Taupō community.


This event is unique - locally owned and not-for-profit, all surpluses go back into the community through grants for deserving groups and organisations. We are a Rotary event, operated by a Charitable Trust, with all surpluses from the event being distributed in the Taupō Community by Lake Taupo Rotary.

Each year, we donate tens of thousands of dollars to local volunteer groups who help bring the event to life, and contribute over $300,000 to local contractors and suppliers, creating an annual economic benefit of over $6 million for the region.

With lots of options including our iconic Shimano Round the Lake, mountain bike and gravel options such as the Tineli Huka Hundy - the new kid on the block – as well as family friendly rides, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re riding, cheering, or enjoying the atmosphere at the Event Village, we invite you to get involved and make this year’s event memorable for our entire community!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
