Race overview

The next VetSouth Gorge Race is on Saturday 13 March 2027, celebrating five years of this fantastic community event. Get ready to explores a fantastic course, based in Central Southland (2027 location to be announced, but you can expect the same stunning rural scenery you've become used to over the years). 

The aim is simple: navigate your team around the course to as many of the control points as possible within the timeframe given.

Some control points will be worth more than others, and points will be taken off for returning late - so take care of how you manage your time!
