The Great Naseby Water Race Ultramarathon

The countdown has started for the Great Naseby Water Race 2024

The course is set around a 10km loop which consists of both gravel roads and trail running, including along the water race.  There is no actual water running.

This unique ultramarathon event takes place near Naseby - the highest town in New Zealand at 2000ft. Less than an hour from Alexandra, or an hour and a half from both Queenstown and Dunedin International Airports, Naseby is a great jumping off point for a trip to the adventure playground that is Central Otago.
