Ironman 70.3 New Zealand

Great Lake Taupō, home to the Ironman 70.3 New Zealand, is a popular tourist destination, boasting the largest freshwater lake in Australasia and mountains made internationally famous after being featured in the Lord of The Rings trilogy.

Taupō is an idyllic host venue for the sport of Ironman; it is a renowned and beautiful tourism destination, large enough to host international events yet small enough for the athletes and community to come together as one.

Ironman 70.3 New Zealand athletes will have the unique opportunity to race in the morning, then stay around to support family, friends and watch the elite athletes battle it out for the title of Ironman New Zealand Champion.

Discover nature’s ultimate playground with a pristine freshwater swim, countryside bike and stunning lakefront run.
