Clyde is a small town in Central Otago, New Zealand.
Clyde grew up around the former settlement of Dunstan during the Central Otago goldrush of the 1860s.

 Central Otago New Zealand - Heart of the South- Clyde
Alexandra and Clyde owe their settlement to the discovery of gold from the Clutha River by the two prospectors, Horatio Hartley and Christopher Reilly in 1862.
At one point the population of Clyde rose to 4 000, when it was known as The Dunstan.
Clyde was initially established as the administrative centre of the Dunstan Goldfields, so much so that for many years Alexandra was bypassed even by the coach route which, on the Clyde/Roxburgh run, ran through the Earnscleugh/Conroys Gully on the far side of the Clutha River.

 About Goldrush - Central Otago multisport endurance race New Zealand
The hardships they endured, in an area renowned for the hottest summers and coldest winters in New Zealand, makes us feel so inadequate with our present comforts of the modern day.
When you compete in Goldrush, many of the tracks the race goes over pass these relics of history, and you can imagine the struggles that these early settlers had in setting up the many water races for sluicing the gold and roads to access their claims.
This has had an unnerving effect on some of the runners and we think this has contributed to the very fast times recorded over this section of the race.
