Canterbury Classic Triathlon & Duathlon
Sunday, 1 February 2026
Cass / Corsair Bay, Canterbury
Previously know as the Corsair Classic, the Canterbury Classic Triathlon & Duathlon on 1 February 2026 focuses on providing a good honest course with options for all ages and abilities.
The swim leg will be held at Cass Bay followed by a 1km run to Corsair Bay to start the bike leg. The bike is a very hilly ride around the harbour. The run is on mixed terrain of footpath and track.
The event is perfectly timed for those that are training for Challenge Wanaka, Ironman, other late season races or just to get out there on a tough old course.
