Welcome from Taupō District Mayor

We are absolutely delighted to be hosting the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship here in Taupō!

The Taupō District is considered the events capital of New Zealand and I believe we can really live up to that name! Each year we welcome many competitors from a huge variety of sports to our district. We love to see all the support behind these events, not only from the participants but also the spectators, sponsors, and the volunteers.

Having already hosted IRONMAN New Zealand and IRONMAN 70.3 Taupō events; we are not only able to showcase our beautiful scenery, but we know how to welcome you with our true Kiwi spirit; while we support you and your families as you train for this amazing world championship event.

While you are here, we really hope you get the chance to get out and about to further explore our town and the wider Taupō District. We are proud of our community; our beautiful lake and all the lovely spots around it. Make sure to take the time to go out into our awesome town if you can and explore the beauty that makes this place so special.

On behalf of our community, I extend a warm welcome to the participants, spectators, sponsors and volunteers. We wish all the participants the very best in the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships!
