About the event
A collective of East Coast wahine riders are coming together to celebrate this special day, shining a spotlight on Tairāwhiti as the first place in the world to see the sun and the first stop on the global ride.
This is more than a ride. It’s a show of solidarity, strength, and wahine power, honouring women who ride and the spirit of community they bring wherever they go.
On this 20th anniversary, the East Coast is proud to lead the way, welcoming riders and supporters to be part of a worldwide celebration of Wahine Toa.
Live music, prizes and giveaways.
Meet at 190 Grey Street, Gisborne
