Experience ...

the best 12 hour race this side of the black stump (and maybe the other side as well).� Besides a fantastic track that is highly rated by riders, the Timaru 12 Hour is a very social event and festive occasion.� A tent village is set up inside Centennial Park and the course winds its way through and past your allocated tent� site.� Lots of teams bring in those extra little things that help with their performance and make things a little more comfortable such as generators, lights, warm up bikes, BBQ's, fridges and even couches and a spa pool!

Your mission cover as many laps as possible during 12 hours of riding. Ride as a team or for those wanting the ultimate challenge, as a Solo Rider.
