The Merida Whaka 100 is an event designed to specifically challenge those riders who want to completely test their body and mind. The challenge was laid down in Zippy's Cafe at the start of 2007 - 'Dean, you should really run a 100km race' - and the response was given with interest with the design of a course that is arguable New Zealand's toughest mountain bike marathon.
