Kiwiman Xtreme Triathlon
Saturday, 28 March 2026 to Sunday, 29 March 2026
New Plymouth, Taranaki
The Kiwiman Xtreme Triathlon returns to New Plymouth, Taranaki from 28 to 29 March 2026.
The full course starts with a 3.6km swim in Lake Rotomanu before biking 194km around Taranaki Maunga, finishing with a 46km run to the mountain’s base.
2026 sees the introduction of the 0.5 Kiwiman Xtreme - the same tough course feel, but half the distance. Swim 2K in the stunning Lake Ratapiko; bike 95km of torturous inland hills of Taranaki and finish with a 23.5km challenging run, starting at sea level and navigating your way through iconic tracks finishing at Lake Mangamahoe.
Both options can be entered solo or in a team of up to four. Tackle one leg each or tag in and out across the course.
