What is Tour Te Waipounamu?
Tour Te Waipounamu (TTW) is a self-supported bikepacking race traversing the length of New Zealand’s South Island / Te Waipounamu. Riders navigate remote backcountry trails, mountain passes, and rugged high-country stations — carrying everything they need from start to finish. It’s as much an adventure of endurance and mindset as it is a race.
