Ultimate Triathlete New Zealand

13/05/2016

Kay and I would like to announce that due to continuing time constraints we no longer have the ability to run our November/ December events (South Island Sports Festival, Christmas cracker)
It has been a very hard decision to make, but we feel that going into a new season offering only half the attention that these events deserve would not only be disrespectful to you guys ( the Athletes ) but would be detrimental to the sport.

On the upside our loss might be another persons gain
If there is another events company that is looking to broaden their race portfolio please feel free to contact us directly
Or
If there is a club, group or charity out there that has a passion for the sport and is looking for a GREAT fundraiser we are more than willing to hand these events over.
We would of course help with the transition and give you all the necessary information to make these events run smoothly into the future.
The only requirement is that they have a passion for triathlon and running great events.

Thank you to all of you for the great support over the years, it's been an absolute blast.

Cheers Daniel.

Christmas cracker athletes .... The course transition is at the south end of the lake! Same place as last year. When you approach the blue lake hood sign take the right down stranges road, then take the left into lake hood. ( the old entrance ) and it's just down there on the right. 👍
Please share this post if you know others that are participating.

Only 11 days till the best race of the season, The Christmas Cracker. The one where the handicap is set and the smack talk begins.
Take a look at the starters to date, as see where the competition is. http://www.raceentries.co.nz/seriesentrants.php?seriesid=60
It’s awesome to see so many returning athletes.

I’ve yet to do all my homework but at a glance the Handicap will be set off Mr John Ellis / Andrew Abakhan V Martina Fellmann.
It’s looking like we will have a true age grouper on the top of the podium.

Let’s make sure that this year’s race is as great as 2014, tell your friends, Family and work mates. And then set the challenge.
It’s an awesome way to start the Christmas break.

Don’t forget that the entry fee goes up in 2 days.

It is with huge regret that we have made the decision to cancel the 2015 South Island sports festival, this is due to excessively low numbers this close to the event.
This was a very hard decision for us to make, and we are truly sorry to all the athletes that committed early.

We will be looking into our event strategy for 2016 and opening up entries early in the new year.

Thanks for all the support
Daniel & Kay.
