Michael Tall won the event in 2024
Based in North Canterbury, Woods Road had not been run before as a sprint in 2024 so a level playing field and a new challenge for everyone. Despite not being run before the level of enthusiasm for the new road was very high
The course was approximately 4.5 km of gravel road, with a hard base. The first third of the course is on a flat open section with few corners before it starts to climb. There are some challenging corners here as it passes adjacent to a small forestry block before proceeding down a gradual downhill with wide sweeping corners before finishing on the flat
