This year’s, on November 27, will be the 44th, with the 2020 challenge having to be cancelled due to health concerns and uncertainty around social distancing engendered by Covid-19. The event played a significant role in the local economy, said Dickason, with the BDO Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge “being seen as one of the regions ‘big three’ iconic events, injecting around $5 million of direct economic benefit to the community each year.”
