On the 15th March 2008 the annual Rainbow Rage event will be back with a 106 KM mountain bike adventure ride that starts outside of St Arnaud, goes through some of the South Island’s awesome sub alpine high country, and finishes in the Hanmer domain.

First held in 1996 with 66 starters, because of its unique course and great spirit the ride has continued to grow: 1997 - 88, 1998 - 224, 1999 - 1009, 2000 - 1295.

In 2001 a new record of 1604 entries was received.

Drifters Inn is a few minutes walk from Hanmer domain and offers awesome group, couple and single accommodation.
