Tour Aotearoa is an annual cycle tour event and cycling route in New Zealand. The route travels 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Tour Aotearoa's debut event in 2016 included about 250 riders. The event was organised by Jonathan Kennett, a manager of the New Zealand Cycle Trail project. Kennett said that as the Cycle Trail project manager, he was often asked what was the best route from Cape Reinga to Bluff, which was part of the inspiration for the event. Kennett described the route in 2016 as a "mix of off-road trails, back-country roads, a few bits of highway, and even 90 Mile Beach", and that more sections would move off-road every month as more cycle trails were built.

  • Tour Aotearoa is an annual cycle tour event and cycling route in New Zealand. The route travels 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Tour Aotearoa's debut event in 2016 included about 250 riders. The event was organised by Jonathan Kennett, a manager of the New Zealand Cycle Trail project.

Kennett described the route in 2016 as a "mix of off-road trails, back-country roads, a few bits of highway, and even 90 Mile Beach", and that more sections would move off-road every month as more cycle trails were built. The event is a brevet, meaning that it is not a race and cyclists ride at their own pace, though participants are expected to complete the challenge in under 30 days and reach 30 photo checkpoints, as well as carry all their own gear. The event was biannual, held in 2016, 2018, and 2020, then moved to yearly with an event in 2021. The New Zealand Herald reported that Jackson Kelly was believed to be the youngest person to complete the event, at age 16. Kelly and his father entered the event in 2021 and completed the route over 28 days. (en)
