In 2017, the new CSS inter-school mountain biking competition began at the Adventure Park in the Port Hills. In 2018, the competition was moved to Halswell Quarry. This competition provides single-track cross-country and hill-climb events which culminate in the Canterbury School championships.
Mountain biking takes place at several locations across Christchurch.
