      Maunga Mayhem 2025 is back, bigger and better!

      An obstacle adventure race like no other that will take place through a stunning sub-tropical landscape in the heart of Maungatapere. Participants of all ages will be challenged to overcome a range of action-packed adventure obstacles.

      This year’s event will take place at “Land of the Lotus” on Mangakahia Road in Maungatapere. (Parking will be via Mannington Road with a scenic stroll to the race centre.)

      In the sub-tropical paradise competitors will be stomping through the muddy swamp and marshland, they will tackle a range of obstacles along the way, all while navigating local bush and rolling hills, they will crawl, climb, scramble, balance, jump, splash and leap their way to the finish line.

      Major participants will have the added benefit of trekking through way through stunning Watergardens, and banana plantations, with outstanding views over the Mangakahia valley.

      It promises to be a challenging, action-packed, fun day out with three races to cater for all ages, the whole family,  and this year we have a new teams category so grab your friends and workmates-  there is something for everyone!
