⭐ NZ PARA SPRINT TRIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS ⭐

We’re proud to welcome the 2026 Triathlon New Zealand Para Sprint Triathlon National Championships to the Marra Construction Tinman Triathlon on Sunday 22 November 2026! 🇳🇿🏆

And it’s a big day of racing, forming part of the Tri NZ Suzuki Series! ⚡🏁

The Para Sprint Triathlon takes place on the same course as our Sprint Triathlon:

🏊‍♀️ 750m Swim
🚴 20km Bike

Our Tinman Sprint course is flat, fast and not overly technical, making it a great course if you’re looking to give Para Triathlon a go. 💪

⭐ SPRINT DISTANCE ⭐

Thinking about stepping up to the 2026 Marra Construction Tinman Triathlon Sprint? This one is a crowd favourite for a reason: fast, fun and with just enough spice to keep things interesting. 🌶️🔥

Whether it’s your first Sprint or you’re chasing a fast one, this is a great way to get amongst the Tinman action!

🚴‍♀️ Draft-legal racing: Road bikes and mountain bikes are welcome, but no TT bikes or aero bars. Drafting means tucking in behind another rider to save a little energy and keep the pace moving!

🏊‍♀️ Swim: 750m, 1 lap
Ocean swim with a deep-water start at the wharf.

🚴 Bike: 20km, 2 laps
The Mall → Adams Ave → Marine Parade → turn-around at #209 Marine Parade. Return to the turn-around at Prince Ave.

🏃‍♀️ Run: 5km, 1 lap
The Mall → Adams Ave → Marine Parade → turn at #63. Then back to the finish via Marine Parade → Adams Ave → The Mall.

⭐💦 SPLASH ’N’ DASH 💦⭐

Because Mum and Dad don’t get to have ALL the fun! 😂

For kids aged 5–10, our Splash ’n’ Dash is a short, sweet and seriously fun swim-run aquathlon.

🌊 100m “swim” in Pilot Bay
🏃 1km dash along The Mall and back
🏁 Finish under the same banner as Mum & Dad
🏅 Every finisher gets a medal!

And when we say “swim”... we use the term very loosely. 😂 Think less Olympic freestyle, more running through the water while occasionally remembering to swim. 🏊‍♀️🤣

A great first taste of racing and perfect practice for the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon on Sunday 29 November.

Bring the kids. Bring the goggles. Bring your best splash technique! 💦😎
