We’re beyond thrilled to share some huge news: Mountain Adventure is partnering with One NZ GODZONE, New Zealand’s premier expedition adventure race, for its next epic chapter. As the exclusive New Zealand distributor of NEMO, Fenix, and La Sportiva, we’re proud to supply this legendary event with some of the best gear in the outdoor world.
About One NZ GODZONE
First held in 2012, One NZ GODZONE has grown into the pinnacle of expedition racing, attracting elite teams from across the globe to tackle a non-stop, multi-day journey through some of New Zealand’s wildest terrain. Combining trekking, mountain biking, packrafting, navigation and more, it’s a true test of endurance, teamwork, and resilience.
Each edition is shrouded in mystery until just before race day, with new landscapes and challenges every time. And every time, the bar gets raised. One NZ GODZONE chapter 12 will take place in Marlborough— one of the most rugged and lush corners of Aotearoa. A wildly diverse region where steep mountains, dense bush, twisting waterways, and unpredictable coastal weather combine to create an adventure racer's dream and a true test of skill, stamina, and strategy. In short: perfect territory for the world’s toughest adventure race.
