CHALLENGE WANAKA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

New Zealand\u2019s largest multisport festival (18 Feb 2023) is a feast for the eyes, taking place against the backdrop of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area in the Southern Alps. Its centrepiece is a middle-distance triathlon that\u2019s an A-race for Antipodeans and an earlyseason blow-out for Europeans. <\/p>\n\n

PATAGONMAN <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

This iron-distance triathlon (4 Dec 2022) on the southernmost tip of South America prompted Tim Don to comment, \u201cIt\u2019s the hardest triathlon and one of the most special races I have ever done.<\/span> Patagonman is raw!\u201d <\/p>\n\n

STORM THE CASTLE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

This duathlon is more pre-season (23 Apr 2023) than off-season but it\u2019s still worth your money and effort. It\u2019s set against the historic backdrop of Ludlow Castle, and features a taxing 10km run, 33km bike and 5km run. <\/p>\n\n

HARLECH <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

This spring sprint triathlon (23 Mar 2023) takes place under the watchful eye of Harlech Castle. It\u2019s a 400m pool swim so you won\u2019t need your thermal booties, while the 21.5km bike is flat with a hill in the middle. A 5km run finishes things off. <\/p>\n\n
