1 MONTH TO GO!

Are you on the fence about joining us on 6th March? 

Well here are some reasons why you can still come and enjoy our famous Southern hospitality. And remember entries close on the 26 February so you have 3 weeks to press that button and commit to an epic day out!

Need a fitness goal? The 15km Miners Trail could be for you. You can walk this “race” or run if you are keen, while still taking part in the action and fun that is the Macpac Motatapu. Stunning views and being among hundreds of like-minded people getting after it will give you the motivation to keep you going. We promise, it’ll be a lifetime memory that will have you coming back for more.

Want to race but don't know where to start? Why not embark on that journey with us at the Macpac Motatapu? It’s a safe and secure race to start your foray into the racing world. We have all experienced those butterflies on the start line and we know how hard it is to take that leap. But the Macpac Motatapu team and fellow competitors are there to figuratively hold your hand and show you how amazing racing can be.

EBIKE YOUR WAY ACROSS
 

Did you know you can do the Motatapu on your ebike? The rise of the MTB ebike has been astronomical this past year and it has allowed more people to venture onto our New Zealand trails. This year, it can allow you to ride the Macpac Motatapu. Bring your ebike, bring a friend and make your way through the valleys at your own pace (although not too slow to miss the cut-off times!). And if you’re a regular out at Bike Glendhu, we are sure you have the skills for the valley. 

Want to make your 2021 Macpac Motatapu weekend even more epic?

Enter before midnight Saturday 13 February 2021 and you will go into the draw to win two spots for a stunning scenic flight around Queenstown with our partners Over The Top - The Helicopter Company.

T&C's do apply and flights subject to availability but can be used outside the Macpac Motatapu event weekend. 

The Macpac Motatapu team are thrilled to announce UDC Finance is back on board for 2021. UDC has been financing kiwis for over 80 years and is passionate about backing hard working NZ businesses to get ahead.

Macpac Motatapu co-owner Gemma Peskett is excited to have the company return to the Motatapu whanau. “We are looking forward to seeing all the UDC crew and clients on our various race course on 6th March. They always come with such great enthusiasm and drive.”

“UDC are proud to be a key sponsor of this iconic off-road sporting event and are excited to once again be back at Motatapu”, said Morgan Strong, General Manager Commercial.

We are delighted to announce PAK’nSAVE Queenstown as our official volunteer's sponsor.
