Ford Ranger New Zealand Rural Games

NZ's premier rural sports event. With 20 action-packed championships, there's never a dull moment! Witness sheer grit in events like Timbersports, sheep shearing showdowns, and heart-racing sheepdog trials. Ever seen coal fly or Highland warriors in action? Now's your chance!
But wait, there's more! Step up and test your skills:
• Fancy a gumboot toss?
• How about taking on egg roulette?
• Laugh out loud with cow pat tossing! (yes, you read that right!)
• Dare to scale the trees, drive a digger or take a miniature pony kart ride.

Feeling peckish? Wander around our food trucks and tantalise your taste buds. And with the big screens, you won’t miss a second of the electrifying action.

Special Feature: Friday is all about the future as teenagers storm The Square in the Agri Futures Clash of the Colleges. Plus, cheer for the fierce NZ Women and upcoming Rookies in the can't-miss Timbersports Championships.

Looking for a place to park? Thanks to Lions, you can park on Railway Reserve Land for a gold-coin donation - all funds raised will be used to buy equipment for Palmy Hospital's dialysis unit!

Thanks to Horizons Regional Council Palmy, Feilding and Ashhurst locals will have FREE buses on Sat and Sun.

Plus - disability carparks, toilets and an accessible relaxation area are available - email info@ruralgames.co.nz to register your vehicle.

Guess what? It's free entry! So rally your troops and prepare to make memories that’ll last a lifetime!
