The Macpac Motatapu running and biking event has been cancelled for the second year in a row.
The decision was due to restrictions under the Covid-19 Red traffic light setting, Motatapu co-owner Craig Gallagher said.
"[We] tried to work through a few different plans and after consulting with MBIE [the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment] directly on those plans and retweaking and reforming them ... we thought we had something.
"Sadly, with the number of people we have, it was just getting too much and too hard."
