What is the Tri-It Tri?
If you’re new to triathlon, entering an event can be daunting—but our Tri-It Tri series is designed to make it easier for tri-newbies to take the plunge.
The Tri-It Tri will get underway before the longer race, with the long course competitors starting once the last Tri-It Tri competitor finishes the swim. That means it’s highly unlikely you’ll be the last across the line on the day. (While the aim is to encourage new triathletes, more seasoned triathletes are also welcome to do the Tri-It Tri if they prefer that distance.)

For further information, check the Otago Daily Times Sports Draw on Thursdays to confirm dates and times.
