New Zealand’s most prestigious adventure race, GODZone, will take place in Fiordland in 2018 which will put the spectacular world heritage area in the spotlight internationally. Race director Warren Bates says Fiordland is recognised as one of the greatest wilderness areas in the Southern Hemisphere which underpins what the event is about. “As the world’s largest adventure race we are dedicated to delivering an unrivalled outdoor expedition and the majestic Fiordland and Southland region, with its unique location, diversity of landscape, flora, fauna and abundant wilderness will leave an indelible mark on those who take part.” Destination Fiordland tourism manager Philippa Murrell says “GODZone is an international event that attracts worldwide attention and will help put Fiordland in front of an expansive audience.”
