A man died at a popular motorcycle rally near Alexandra in the lower South Island.

A police spokesman says the death of a 65-year-old man on Friday at the Vincent County Rally in Galloway, 7km north of Alexandra, was not suspicious and had been referred to the coroner.

The man was not operating a vehicle at the time of his death.

The annual event runs on the Friday and Saturday nights closest to Waitangi Day.

About 1600 motorcycle enthusiasts attend each year.

The dead man's name would not be released until next of kin had been notified.
