With the majestic peaks of Milford Sound looming picturesque in the background, competitors in the inaugural Distinction Hotles Milford Mountain Classic Cycle Race will embark on a 120km journey from the tourism mecca to Te Anau.

The race initially climbs 620m over the first 18km before steepening to scale an additional 320m in just 3kms, including the 1.2km through the iconic Homer Tunnel; the location of the King of the Mountain title. Equating to an average rate of climb of around 11 percent, it's sure to test the mettle of competitors.

Another steady climb looms from the Hollyford turnoff at the 29km mark, ascending to The Divide – a 150m gain in 3.5km.

Note: the Milford Mountain Classic has been cancelled for 2017.
