The Great Naseby Water Race

From Friday 24 August 2018 -  8:00am
To Saturday 25 August 2018 -  8:30pm
Location: Naseby

This unique ultramarathon event takes place near Naseby - the highest town in New Zealand at 2000ft. Naseby is 15km north-west by road from Ranfurly and 145km north-west (via Middlemarch) from Dunedin. It is held on the last Saturday of August each year.

The course is set around a 10km loop - the first half along a gravel road and the second half on a forest track beside the water race that gives the event its name. Originally the water race was built for gold mining around 1860 and now it helps supply the town of Naseby.
