Another all-star cast is lining up for this month's ThermaTech 3D Rotorua Multisport Festival in Rotorua.
The 50km New Zealand Multisport Championship will again be the feature race of the festival on Sunday, May 31.
Two-time winners Richard and Elina Ussher will be back, along with top Coast to Coast performers Sam Clark (Whakatane), Trevor Voyce (Nelson) and 2013 3D winner Simone Maier (Wanaka).
The 50km race will include a 9km paddle on Tikitapu (Blue Lake), 30km mountain bike in the Whakarewarewa Forest and 11km run.
While he is delighted with the calibre of the elite field, race director Neil Gellatly was also thrilled with the amount of families entering.
