Red Bull Foxhunt

Downhill mountain bike event Red Bull Foxhunt is coming to New Zealand tracks for the first time ever where 150 riders will come together at Cardrona Wanaka on Saturday 11 February for the mass-start enduro race.

The race kicks off at 4.30pm.

Red Bull Foxhunt will see Red Bull athletes and world-leading downhill mountain bikers Brook 'The Bulldog' Macdonald Jess Blewitt and Remy Morton challenge 150 riders from across Aotearoa to a downhill race like no other where they will be 'the foxes' chasing their ‘prey’ to the finish line.

The concept is simple but definitely not easy. On a 9.5km course the riders will line up at the top of Cardrona ready for the mass start. The ‘foxes’ will be released from several metres back to chase the riders in a downhill cross-country MTB race. The goal for each competitor is to beat the foxes and be the first to cross the finish line.

There are epic prizes up for grabs for the fastest man and woman including a Trek Slash 7 Trek Bike valued at $5699 for first place and for second a Sony Portable Wireless Speaker and AJ Hackett Kawarau Bungy gift voucher and third place a Sony Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones and AJ Hackett Kawarau Bungy gift voucher.

The event is open to any downhiller but experience and skill is recommended. The public is encouraged to come along to Cardrona to witness the action.
