Located on New Zealand’s central North Island, Rotorua is set amidst breathtaking natural scenery and is home to dramatic forest landscapes and pristine lakes. Tucked away along the shores of a lake, the city is a perfect destination for travellers who enjoy the great outdoors and want to take part in multisport events in Rotorua.

Ideal for those looking for a winter festival in Rotorua, the 3D Rotorua Off Road Multisport Festival is a fun outdoor event that was inaugurated in 2005. This much loved festival has developed over the years to include a variety of challenges catering to a range of age groups. The next 3D Rotorua Off Road Multisport Festival is scheduled to take place during the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend on 3 June, 2012.

Events that take place amidst the mighty trees of the Redwoods Forest include a short 2 km run for kids under 10 years old, as well as two competitions that combine walking and running covering a 5.5 km and a 10.5 km course.

Those looking for something more challenging can take part in such competitions as the 21 km half marathon that includes walking and running, a 30 km mountain bike course that takes riders through the Whakarewarewa Forest and an 8 km paddle on Lake Okareka. The main competition is the 50 km multisport title race that offers a real test of endurance as competitors take on a course which involves a combination of paddling, mountain biking and running. 

Enjoying a central location, Millennium Hotel Rotorua makes a great base from which to visit the attractions and experience the events of the city.
