Since its inception, the XTERRA Rotorua Festival has grown to become one of the best XTERRA events in the world. Each year we offer seven events for competitors to choose from and are set in and around Rotorua’s Lake Tikitapu and Whakarewarewa Forest. It is without question amongst the most beautiful scenery in New Zealand.
