Kopiko 2024 Brevet event

The 2024 event will start in late January 2024 [exact start dates will be announced mid-2023]. It is expected that by 2024 we'll be able to return to East Cape - however that is contingent on the East Cape road being fixed. 

Enter the Kopiko Aotearoa 2024 Brevet here. Once the event has started your friends and family will be able to follow along
