Listed in our event index as Karioi Classic.
The Fine Signs Crazyman Multisport & Duathlon is Wellington’s oldest multisport event, held each December around Eastbourne and Petone in the Wellington region. It is an off-road race with two main options: the full multisport course includes a 13K sea kayak, 28K mountain bike, and 13K trail run, while the duathlon uses the bike and run segments, omitting the paddle. Approximately 400 people compete each year, individually or in teams, drawing serious multisport athletes, relay squads, and groups tackling a single leg together. The full course begins with a kayak from Days Bay to Petone Wharf, then directs riders onto the Hutt River Trail and across Belmont Regional Park. The run circles Belmont Trig, follows Korokoro Stream, and concludes back at Petone Wharf. The race utilizes much of Hutt City’s outdoor landscape in a single event: harbour, beach, river trail, hill tracks, and bush paths. Organiser MDJ Media & Events frames The Crazyman as a community event welcoming various ages, abilities, and backgrounds, aligning with its solo-or-team format.
Running: Locals run the waterfront when they want clean Z2 and honest splits, especially Oriental Bay, Waitangi Park, and the flat coast around Island Bay toward Lyall Bay or Red Rocks. Waitangi parkrun gives people a free 5k every Saturday morning, and the Honest 10 Fun Run keeps the benchmark effort simple from Freyberg Pool in Oriental Bay. WoRM meets at the Naked Man sculpture on Tuesday at 6:15 PM for Mt Vic trails, Freyburg pool on Wednesday at 6:15 PM, and the Pickle Jar in Karori on Thursday at 6:30 PM. Wellington Marathon and WUU2K sit as the anchor races.
Cycling: Locals ride from the harbour out to Hutt Valley, Petone, Eastbourne, Upper Hutt, and Wainuiomata when they want base miles with a bit of bite. Wellington Road Cycling Club has been around since 1983, welcomes riders aged 16+, and keeps the racing crowd tied into Cycling NZ. Hutt River Trail works for steady spins, and Remutaka Cycle Trail runs 122km between Petone foreshore and Palliser Bay. Remutaka Rail Trail gives about 18km from Kaitoke to Cross Creek, with bush, tunnels, and a proper light in the bag. Climbs live on Paekākāriki Hill, Remutaka Range, Wainuiomata Coast, and the rougher gravel toward Maungakotukutuku. Karapoti Classic, The Crazyman, and Porirua Grand Traverse give the calendar its sharper edge.
Season: September to February gives Wellington its best training block, with warmer days and enough daylight for intervals after work. Summer keeps the harbour loops bright, the coast fine on any side of Wellington, and the long rides easier to stretch toward Greytown, Martinborough, or Cape Palliser. Locals still respect the wind, because Wellington stays windy year-round. June and July bring the wettest months, so runners use the waterfront, Mt Vic, and Tip Track when the window opens. Southerly blasts make winter feel properly coastal, and hill suburbs plus the Hutt Valley get frosts between May and September. Snow stays rare at low altitudes.
