First Response Unit

Raise money for First Response Unit

Every day, thousands of people head into the Whakarewarewa forest on bike, by foot or on horseback. And when things go wrong - the First Response Unit is ready to provide urgent medical support. 

The First Response Unit responds to about 700 calls for help in the forest each year – that’s an average of two rescues per day. 

Thanks to the generous support of people like you, the Rotorua Mountain Bike Club is able to fund this world-class forest rescue service.

Help support the Rotorua Mountain Bike Club's First Response Unit which provides a 7 day a week medical response service throughout the trails in Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest.
