<P> The trail runs in an arc between Middlemarch and Clyde , along the route of the former Otago Central Railway . The trail has become a popular tourist attraction , with 10,000 - 12,000 users per year as a conservative estimate , and yearly ( and ongoing ) user increases for 6 out of the last 7 years ( as of 2011 ) . The trail is also accepted as being , by a large margin , the biggest non-farming economic factor in the Maniototo - Alexandra area . </P>
