Porirua Grand Traverse just around the corner
The Porirua Grand Traverse is back in 2023, and the popular multisport event just keeps growing.
When the Grand Traverse rolls around on 2 April, it will mark 18 years since the event began.
This year participants can also choose to enter in a 13km mountain bike fun ride – a great intro to the sport for rookies, families and children aged 7 and over.
Event organiser Michael Jacques says the new fun ride is an opportunity to get more people involved in the Grand Traverse, especially as there is growing interest in mountain biking among young people in the region.
Entries are now open – for more information and to register, visit poriruagrandtraverse.co.nz
