VIEW THE STAGES ➚

The 5 Day Solo is built for riders who want the complete Volcanic Epic experience without needing a teammate. You’ll ride the full five-day route, starting with the heli-bike uplift to private alpine trail, then continue through world-famous volcanic singletrack, forest flow and Rotorua hero dirt.

Off the bike, you’re still part of the full stage-race atmosphere, with included food truck lunches, rider support and plenty of time to connect, recover and share stories after each stage.
