MACPAC X One NZ GODZONE
Macpac has been equipping outdoor enthusiasts to adventure better since 1973. Our Aotearoa New Zealand heritage has deep roots in untamed adventure. In fact, it’s what we do best.
So when we look for partnerships, we don’t just back anyone. We look for the same relentless spirit. The same hunger for the unknown. The same drive to weather anything.
One NZ GODZONE represents the pinnacle of that spirit. It’s raw, remote, and relentless. It’s where the best athletes battle terrain, conditions and willpower just to finish, and where the gear on your back doesn’t just endure, it performs.
Which is why we’re proud to announce our partnership as the exclusive Apparel and Pack Provider with One NZ GODZONE, the most technically challenging adventure race in the world. Born right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
What is One NZ GODZONE?
One NZ GODZONE is the ultimate expedition adventure racing experience. Teams travel up to 700 kilometres across some of Aotearoa’s most remote and unforgiving terrain.
Over eight days, teams navigate through mountains, rivers, lakes and bush, racing on foot, bike, kayak and more. The conditions are harsh, the hours are long, and the racers choose whether they need to sleep. It’s brutal. It’s beautiful. And it’s not for the faint of anything.
Why Partner with One NZ GODZONE?
At its core, One NZ GODZONE is about endurance. Not just physical, but mental.
We’re not here to be a logo on a banner. We’re here to equip athletes with gear they can trust. This race pushes athletes to their edge and beyond — the sleep deprivation, the mental strain, the harsh environment. In this race, your gear isn’t just gear. It’s your lifeline.
One NZ GODZONE was born in Aotearoa New Zealand, standing on the shoulders of the legendary adventure races that helped define the sport. It’s Kiwi to the core, and proudly so.
That’s why this partnership makes sense. Macpac gear is made to perform where comfort zones end. Our technical apparel and equipment is designed, tested and proven in the same extreme conditions these athletes face. And it’s been trusted by outdoor professionals for over 50 years.
The GODZONE Gear
While every One NZ GODZONE team brings their own strategy, route choices and slightly questionable snack selections, one thing they all have in common is a need for gear that works.
We’ll be supporting the team behind One NZ GODZONE and the competitors with gear that’s built for untamed adventure.
Whether you’re an adventure racer, or chasing your own version of One NZ GODZONE, we want to make sure you have the gear to weather anything.
What to Expect
This year, we’ll be working closely with One NZ GODZONE to support their athletes and bring the spirit of adventure to more people. We’ll be in the thick of it — from behind the scenes to the finish line. We’ll be telling stories from the field, providing some of the country’s best adventure racers with Macpac race packs, and sharing what it really takes to go beyond the edge.
We invite you to follow along. Whether you’re racing, spectating, or just dreaming of your next mission, there’s something in One NZ GODZONE for all of us. It’s not about winning. It’s about resilience, resourcefulness, and respect for the land.
That’s the kind of adventure we’ll always get behind.
