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.
