Rotorua Ekiden is a fun team relay run or walk around beautiful Lake Rotorua and is the most colourful event on the Victory Events calendar.
Teams of up to six people dress themselves and their support vehicles in their chosen theme, adding an element of fun and entertainment to the event. Their goal? To take out the coveted title of the {Un}Official Fancy Dress World Champs a popular feature of the event.
Supported by local businesses, Rotorua Ekiden brings the community and wider Bay of Plenty together for a day of fitness and fancy dress. The event is also gaining in popularity with regions even further afield including Waikato and Auckland.
