The Kaikōura 3 day trial will be held at King’s Birthday weekend on 31 May-2 June 2025.  This will be the 80th year that this trial has been run since it began in 1946.  This not to be missed event is the only trial each year which has a sidecar class.
As usual, there will be great properties to ride on and time to socialise in the evening.

This year we will be at Rakanui for one day instead of the Dairy Flat property and there will be an event dinner on Sunday evening at Donegal House ($50 for a two course adult meal, $25 for children, under 12).

K3D t shirts can be purchased when you enter.  The colour may be different to the example below.
