IRONMAN New Zealand

IRONMAN New Zealand
Saturday, 7 March 2020 06:00AM to 11:45PM

With half the field coming from outside the country every year, IRONMAN New Zealand is truly the world’s most international IRONMAN. This race has stood the test of time and will celebrate 35 incredible years in 2019.

Firmly established in its hometown of Taupō since 1999, the event showcases the best New Zealand and its breathtaking scenery has to offer. Thanks to the locals' pure Kiwi spirit, you will feel like a local the minute you arrive. The event attracts more than 2,000 volunteers from a population of just 25,000 - and you'll encounter the rest along the streets cheering you on.

One of the world’s biggest fresh water lakes offers arguably the best swim on the circuit. A two-loop bike course comes back through town before heading through the forests and a three-loop run course leaves you no chance to escape the thousands of spectators. Participants will complete a 3.8km swim, 180km bike and 42.2km run - definitely something to cheer about!
