The Te Miro Twister
XC RACING AT TE MIRO - Returning 2027
TWIST INTO ACTION
The Twister didn't run in 2026 — school holidays and a grim forecast meant entries didn't stack up. We're planning its return for 2027.
It's all about challenge, camaraderie and good times on the dirt, whether you're racing for glory or giving your first XC event a go. Categories for all ages and skill levels, including E-Bike and Adaptive Riders.
Sausage sizzle, cold drinks and spot prizes on the day. Bring cash.
Date confirmed soon. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram and we'll let you know when entries open.

It takes a team to make race day work. We're after volunteers for marshalling, registration and general event support.
A few hours or the whole day, your help keeps riders safe and the stoke high.
