by Devold
One of New Zealand's premier high country experiences, combining exclusive access to private high-country stations with extraordinary alpine scenery and some of the most iconic landscapes in the Mackenzie Region.
For 2027, The Mackenzie has a brand-new home at Glenmore Station, just 15 minutes from Lake Tekapo.
With exclusive race-day access to private high-country stations, our new courses take you into landscapes rarely experienced by the public - from the wild beauty of the Cass Valley and the shores of Lake Alexandrina, to mountain tracks, high-country tarns and some seriously spectacular Mackenzie views.
Whether you ride it, run it or bring the kids along for their own adventure, The Mackenzie by Devold is about getting out there and experiencing the high country.
Steeped in history worthy of the big screen, the Mackenzie Region is a place shaped by pioneers, shepherds, farming families and generations of people who have worked this remarkable land.
The Mackenzie by Devold celebrates that heritage by taking you right into the heart of it. For one day only, private high-country stations open their gates and give you the opportunity to ride or run through landscapes rarely accessible to the public - following farm tracks, crossing creeks and experiencing the raw beauty of the Mackenzie high country.
From the names of our races to the courses you travel and the stations you cross, farming is woven into the story of The Mackenzie.
Come experience the high country. Be part of its story.
