The Mackenzie

EXCITING NEW CONCEPT FOR 2027 AND BEYOND!

MTB

Experience the Mackenzie like never before. With exclusive access to three private high-country stations, these courses take you deep into the heart of the region, across landscapes rarely seen by the public and only accessible on race day.

GRAVEL

Discover the vast beauty of the world-famous Mackenzie Region. Following sections of the iconic Alps 2 Ocean Trail, each course showcases endless open landscapes, turquoise lakes, and unforgettable views of Aoraki / Mount Cook.

Steeped in a history worthy of the big screen, the Mackenzie Region is alive with legendary tales - of pioneers, shepherds, wild landscapes, and the rugged determination that shaped this remarkable region.

The Mackenzie by Devold celebrates that heritage, honouring the farming roots that run deep through this vast and majestic high country. From the open plains to the rolling hills and station tracks, every turn of the course connects you to the land and the people who have worked it for generations.

Join us this autumn for a journey that captures the true rural soul of the Mackenzie. Feel the grit, the beauty, and the raw authenticity of the high country as you ride across landscapes rich in history and character. It’s an experience you’ll remember long after the finish line - and one that will keep you coming back for more.

Come ride the story, feel the heritage, and be part of the legend.
