A two-day fitness festival celebrating community, movement, and connection.

After a huge November Series 2025, ORA FIT FEST returns to the Hawke’s Bay Showgrounds for another two-day fitness festival.

This event is all about bringing the Hawke’s Bay fitness community together. It’s designed to feel welcoming, inclusive, and achievable.

Gym Village

We’re creating a dedicated Gym Village space for local gyms who want to bring a group of their members and be part of the ORA FIT FEST atmosphere.

If your gym is entering multiple teams, you’re welcome to set up your own marquee within our designated Gym Village area.

Marquee spaces are limited and will be allocated upon confirmation.

📩 Contact management@orafitnessstudio.co.nz once your team entries are secured to reserve your space.

Let’s build something bigger than race day — let’s build fitness culture across Hawke’s Bay.

Ticket Information

All entries are sold as Doubles Team Tickets.

One ticket secures your team’s place in the event. During registration, the purchasing athlete will enter both their own details and their partner’s details.

Masters Division (40+)

A Masters (40+) category is available across all divisions.
Both athletes must be 40+ on event day to qualify.
Select this option during registration.

Ticket Release Structure

We have intentionally released tickets closer to the event date.

In previous events, managing ticket swaps, partner changes, and last-minute adjustments became a significant and time-consuming task. By releasing tickets closer to event weekend, we aim to:

• Reduce last-minute changes

• Improve athlete preparedness

• Allocate heats with greater certainty

• Release heat times earlier

• Deliver a smoother overall experience

Due to capacity limits, entries are capped.

Refund & Transfer Policy

All ticket purchases are final.

We do not offer refunds for change of mind, injury, illness, or scheduling conflicts.

Tickets may be transferred to another team up until 7th April 2026. After this date, no changes can be made.

By purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge and accept this policy.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We are currently offering sponsorship packages for businesses looking to connect with a large and engaged health and fitness audience in Hawke’s Bay.
