Supercars Tree Planting
Giving back to the trails we love!
Together, we’re growing something special
The Supercars Tree Planting has been a feature of the past two Taupo Trail Festivals and with the help of Supercars and the team at Greening Taupo, we started it off in 2024 by planting 2,000 trees!
We are up to 4000 trees in the ground at the festival planting site, and next year we will fill this site and plant another 2000 trees to reach an amazing final total of 6000 trees.
This amazing sustainability initiative project has been made possible by the generous support of Supercars and you!! The entry fees you paid have made a direct contribution to this project - let’s be proud of that!
Greening Taupo is a collaborative project that to date has achieved great things. With the help of amazing volunteers putting in over 20,000 hours they have planted well over 500,000 trees.
Throughout the Love Taupo Trail Festival, we celebrate the magic of being outdoors in nature, doing the things we love with our friends and whanau. These trails we love, they’re very often surrounded by beautiful trees. So we thought, let’s create trees as the ‘currency’ of the festival - for every pair of shoes (big or small) and wheel that cross a finish line in any of the events on offer, we’ll plant a tree.
Due to the timing of the event and the optimum time to plant, the planting won’t take place on festival weekend - details below;

We couldn’t do it without these absolute legends!
It’s really simple, these events don’t happen without the commitment and support of a whole bunch of cool people, and organisations that share the vision of what we are trying to achieve. We are so grateful to those who got on board, and believe, like we do, the benefits of getting people into the outdoors and nature - and for their support of Total Sport. Some of these partners have been with us for a very long time, and feel like family, and some are newbies. Please support them wherever you can, as their support enables us to do what we do, which means you get to do what you love to do - everyone wins!!
