Nelson Tasman
Motorcycle Festival

Two days of adventure riding at its best. 

 Following a successful event in May 2024 KMC are working with Nelson City council and Tasman District council to host the event again in 2025 for Adventure Bikes, that showcases our region to visitors, and also allows local Adventure riders to enjoy access to a variety of off road trails that would not normally be available.  These trails will be in and around the Nelson Tasman region and will include some road, forestry and tracks with some interesting and unusual locations thrown in to test all riders abilities.

NEW DATES!!

The festival will be held on Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th of May 2025 culminating in an evening prize giving in Nelson

In this second year we hope to attract 50 Adventure bike riders. Being located in the middle of New Zealand we hope to attract a number of riders from outside of the region to come to Nelson and checkout our local rides.

Two days of riding

The course has been planned to provide participates access to a unique range of trails and locations we would not normally be allowed to access.
