Around five times a year, Gumboot Rally sets off on an automotive-themed scavenger hunt in search of amazing back roads, scenery and all the towns you would never otherwise see.
Our flagship event is the two-day Gumboot Rally, and we also hold four one-day Gumboot Runs around the country throughout the year.
Over the years our adventures have taken us to Cape Reinga, Taranaki’s Forgotten World Highway, East Cape, Raglan to Tauranga, Wellington to Castle Point, Christchurch to Blackball, and Christchurch to Hanmer and back. Next year we’re heading all the way to Bluff.
The Gumboot Rally weekend covers around 700km, from rolling hills to backcountry straightaways and winding farmland. The variety of countryside is immense, and there is truly a little something for every enthusiast.
“We had heard so much about the Gumboot prior to it, but this weekend surpassed even those. Can’t wait for the next one.”
Logan Burmester
All cars are welcome: USA, Euro, Japan, the lot. We’ve had Dodge Vipers, Aston Martins, RX-7s, Escorts, Starlets, Corvettes and even a Lada.
On the Rally weekend, Saturday is theme day. Every event has a theme: race car, zombie and school, to name a few. Big prizes are handed out at the evening group dinner and prize giving.
“Good people, good times”

Sunday sees more amazing roads and wacky challenges, finishing up with the major prize giving, where the judges count up all the points from the weekend and announce the big winners.
