Para cycling Opportunities:

From 2027, we’re excited to offer Para cycling events. As we’re just getting started, event formats will depend on entry numbers, and we’ll work with each competitor to find an approach that works for everyone. While it may not be possible to accommodate Para events at every course or location, we’ll do our best to provide opportunities wherever we can. To be eligible, Para cyclists must be enrolled at a School Sport NZ-approved school. For more information email us at schools@cnz.kiwi.

If you wish to enter a composite team or be considered for placement in one, please email us at schools@cnz.kiwi, and we will do our best to form teams.

Please note that all composite teams are subject to approval. Full school teams will be prioritised and must be formed first (where possible) before riders can be considered for composite teams. For more information on composite teams, please refer to the Schools Cycling regulations.
