Official Partner Programme

Hawke’s Bay Trails has 176km of trails to maintain and enhance and we greatly appreciate the support of our Official Partners. These guys are champions of the trails and love cyclists, we highly recommend checking out their services. Funds raised from this programme go towards trail enhancements.

The New Zealand Cycle Trail’s Official Partner programme has been created to enable local businesses to partner with cycle trails in their region - for mutual benefit. The Official Partner Programme aims to build the profile of the NZCT brand and the individual Great Rides that make up the NZCT; increase the turnover for New Zealand businesses that provide related goods or services; and generate increased downstream economic benefits to regional communities. The Official Partner programme also aims to enhance New Zealand’s reputation as a premier cycling destination. The NZCT’s Official Partner Programme was launched in October 2011 with Jenny Ryan from Napier’s Takaro Trails being the first business owner to sign up (with Hawke’s Bay Trails). Since then, hundreds of businesses around the country have signed up as Official Partners with trails in their regions.
