Manawatu Hill Climb Series 2026

Five stages, five weeks — ride each Strava segment during its open week and submit your time. Your best four of five results count toward the season total, scored both on raw time (Standy Points) and an age/weight-adjusted handicap (Handy Points). Plus, earn the Mad Dawg badge by riding all five stages in one ride.

MHCS Stage 4 (Saddle Rd Climb) doubles as a practice run for the Bike Manawatu Hill Climb Champs, held on the same climb the following Sunday, 6 December. The Champs are organised separately by Bike Manawatu, not part of MHCS — register directly at bikemanawatu.co.nz.
