The GODZone Adventure Race Chapter 12 from 27 November to 5 December 2025 is a multi-day, non-stop, expedition-style adventure race.

The 2025 event (Chapter 12) will be held in the Marlborough region. The host venue is in Blenheim.

The event pitches teams of four against each other as they navigate their own route across an unrelenting course that includes disciplines such as mountain biking, trekking, packrafting, ropes and coasteering. Each team is required to provide a support crew.

The GZ Pure is the ultimate expedition adventure racing experience with teams travelling approximately 700km across New Zealand’s wilderness for up to 8 and a half days. It represents the most technically challenging adventure race in the world.

The GZ Pursuit is based around the GZ Pure event, but with certain stages either shortened, removed or adapted to give teams more chance to complete the full course in the time allowed. Typically, a GZ Pursuit course will be somewhere between 50 and 150km shorter than a GZ Pure course.
