Marmot are proud to sponsor The Pioneer - an epic 6-Day Mountain Bike Stage Race through NZ’s Southern Alps starting Sunday, 25 November 2018

Local and international mountain bikers will tackle the six-stage race in teams of two. Riders must stay no more than 2 minutes apart for the entire race.   Many riders push themselves to their absolute limits and then ride beyond to discover new limits for themselves and their teammate.  

The level of camaraderie that develops amongst the riders around the social lounge in camp every day is staggering and heart-warming. We don’t exaggerate when we say life-long friends are made on this journey.
