The OxMan
Sunday, 30 November 2025
South Eyre Rd, Oxford, North Canterbury
The OxMan on 30 November 2025 is a long course triathlon incorporating a festival of race options, including several distance triathlons, duathlons, aquabike, multisport and standalone running events.
The event takes place in the farmlands of North Canterbury, with quiet roads and a country feel. Event director John Newsom also organises the Pak’nSave Save Triathlon Festival, Sea2Sky Challenge and JD Duathlon series.
The aim with this event is to conduct a fairly priced event with some, but not all, the bells and whistles you get at Ironman and Challenge branded events.
