NZ's Taupo Hosts Its Annual Charity Battle of the Clubs Motocross, Local Clubs Gather

For a small-scale local event, the burden of keeping it running year after year seems pretty heavy.

Club-versus-club format has a sense of unity that individual competition doesn't, so it's fun to watch.

A race event tied to charity is nice because just taking part feels meaningful.

Taupo always had more of a hot-springs-resort image for me than a bike destination, but motocross is thriving there too, huh.

Grassroots events like this surviving for so long is proof of how strong the community is.
