Half Ironman event sells out — still space in full Ironman
If you want “the voice” Mike Reilly to say “you are an Ironman” in Taupō this December, then you will have to complete the full Ironman.
This is because the 2022 NutriGrain Ironman 70.3 New Zealand has sold out.
The half Ironman event is taking place on December 10, alongside the full Ironman event, the Nutri-Grain Ironman New Zealand.
The half Ironman features a 1.9km swim in the fresh waters of Lake Taupō, a 90km bike through the region’s idyllic countryside, followed by a 21.1km run with waterfront views and fervent local support.
The half Ironman was originally meant to take place earlier in March, but was postponed to December due to Covid restrictions in place earlier this year. Organisers say triathletes from across New Zealand and around the world have registered to take part in the half Ironman.
Entries are still open for the full Ironman New Zealand.
The 2022 event will also feature a Kids Fun Run on Friday, December 9. Children aged 5-13 years can run 750m, 1400m or 2000m at Tongariro North Domain, Taupō and finish down the iconic Ironman chute.
