Miles Toyota – Proudly Driving the Special Olympics NZ 2025 National Summer Games

Miles Toyota is honoured to support Special Olympics New Zealand’s 2025 National Summer Games, returning to Ōtautahi Christchurch for the first time in 20 years from December 10-14.

As the pinnacle event for athletes with intellectual disabilities, the games have grown to become the largest inclusive sports event in the country. Thousands of Special Olympics athletes, coaches, families, and fans will gather in Christchurch, where they’ll have the opportunity to compete amongst the best.

Various locations throughout Christchurch, including the brand-new Parakiore Recreation and Sports Centre, will host athletes competing across 10 different sports, including Athletics, Basketball, Bocce, Equestrian, Football, Golf, Indoor Bowls, Powerlifting, Swimming, and Ten Pin Bowling.

“The Special Olympics athletes embody determination and excellence in sport, and we’re extremely proud to support these games,” says Mark Mills, Miles Toyota CEO. “At its core, our Let’s Go Places philosophy is about mobility for all – enabling movement in all its forms, whether physical, social, or emotional. By providing these vehicles, we’re putting that philosophy into action and ensuring athletes, families, and coaches can focus on what truly matters – competing, connecting, and celebrating achievement.”

The partnership reflects Miles Toyota’s broader commitment to community inclusion and accessibility, ensuring that all New Zealanders have the means to participate fully in the activities and aspirations that matter most to them.
