IRONMAN 70.3 rolls back into town

We are once again excited to be hosting one of the two New Zealand competitions that offer triathletes a shot at securing a spot in the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa, for 2018.

IRONMAN 70.3 Taupo was formerly known as the Taupo Half Triathlon until it was rebranded in 2015 to become an official IRONMAN event.

Events manager Steve Giles said with close to 1000 athletes taking part in individual and team events, it was sure to be a huge weekend for the Taupo District, with supporters and spectators streaming in for the occasion.

"Both this event, IRONMAN 70.3 Taupo and the full IRONMAN event in March always create a fantastic buzz around town and we are thrilled to welcome the organisers back for another year," he said.
