Northland Triathlon

Pine Beach, Kai Iwi Lakes, Northland
The Fireco Northland Triathlon based at Kai Iwi Lakes on 18 April 2026, features a choice of a short or long course and options for teams.
The start, finish and transition areas are all based at Pine Beach. The course starts with a swim in the main lake in the translucent water. Both the cycle and run courses include some significant hills, with the run being majority off road adding further mental and physical demands on athletes. With each transition occurring at one base the event makes for a fun atmosphere where spectators feel involved the whole way through. There are also Kids' options for ages 4 - 15 years.
The 2026 event introduces a stand alone Trail Run option with three exciting distances to suit all fitness levels and goals. The 14km course is a rewarding, scenic adventure, the 8.5km distance is a shorter but equally enjoyable trail experience. For those who prefer a team approach, there is a fun, fast-paced 4km team relay (for 2 -4 members), with team members each completing 1km laps.
