While not on the scale of the recent world event, the 2025 ANZCO Foods IRONMAN New Zealand will be a massive highlight for the district.
The event gives our community another opportunity to get out and support these amazing athletes, showing why Taupō was ranked one of the friendliest cities in the universe!
