SUNDAY JANUARY 26th 2025

LIKELY @ CORSAIR BAY

The Canterbury Classic is an old school triathlon & duathlon focused on providing a good honest course with options for all ages and abilities. The Olympic distance race is a run over a testing course with plenty of hills on the bike and run. 

Our plan with this event is to alternate 2 years at Corsair Bay with 1 year at Wainui

The event will include:

  • Olympic distance Triathlon / Duathlon

    • SWIM 1500m or RUN 3-4km

    • BIKE 38-39km with plenty of hills

    • RUN 9-10km

  • Aquabike options (Swim / Bike / no run)

  • Short distance Triathlon & Duathlon

    • SWIM 300-500m or RUN 1.7-2.5km

    • BIKE 13-18km with a good dose of hills

    • RUN 3.4km

  • Kids Aquathon 5-12 year olds

    • SWIM/WADE & RUN

If you are not planning on racing we need the support of the tri community to make this event happen. You can volunteer https://www.canterburytriclub.co.nz/volunteer-to-help
