Rotorua Suffer
Saturday, 13 December 2025
Blue Lake / Lake Tikitapu, Rotorua
Rotorua Suffer on 13 December 2025 is based at Rotorua's Lake Tikitapu (Blue Lake).
This race is for a special breed. An event for triathletes of widely ranging abilities who all share the same common goal. To get to their finish line. To race on New Zealand's best course. To accept a real challenge and to stare down and defeat their demons. To SUFFER. To support each other. To just get home.
With both half and quarter iron distances, the swim starts in the lake, and is followed by a road cycle and finally a trail run. There is also the option to do the double - a half iron on both days.
