The Kids Craters MTB Event aims to be a fun and friendly kids only mountain bike ride.

At Bike Taupō, we're passionate about encouraging a love for biking from a young age and that's why we're thrilled to be partnering once again with @GM Painters to bring you the Kids Craters Mountain Bike Event!

This event is more than just a race, it's an opportunity for young riders to build confidence, enjoy the thrill of the trails, and be part of a fun, supportive biking community.
