The Waikato River Authority is a major sponsor for a new event that takes place on the Waikato River. The Waikato 100 has a number of different person-powered watercraft taking part in the event, which leaves from Hamilton, heading north, and finishes at Elbow Landing just south of Pukekohe.
The event is an opportunity for a range of people to experience and appreciate the Waikato River and its immediate environment. Competitors in the event include stand-up paddle boarders, waka ama paddlers, kayakers and rowers. The Waikato River Authority has been a sponsor of the event since its first year in 2017.
