Mitre 10 Sports Park
The Harcourts HB Women's Triathlon is about celebrating goals, challenges, and the incredible support you find along the way. Specifically designed for first-timers, this women-only event is 100% achievable, even if you have never considered doing a triathlon before.
You'll be joining other amazing wahine who are also "having a go." For more competitive participants, longer events are also available. You can enter as a team or as an individual, with options for run/walk only, as well as Duathlon, Aquathlon, and Aquabike disciplines.
Gather your besties, workmates, or family and dive in. Take the plunge, put on your shoes, get on that bike, start training, and register. We will see you at the finish line! With multiple races offering various distances and options, there's something for everyone — from absolute beginners to seasoned athletes. We encourage participants from ages 7 to 99, and walkers are absolutely welcome and encouraged to enter.
All entry fees go directly to the Heretaunga Women’s Centre, making a real difference for women in Hawkes Bay while you take on your challenge. For 30 years, our Centre has been a safe, welcoming place where women in Hawke’s Bay can access free and low-cost support services. From counselling and legal advice to workshops, support groups, and wellbeing programmes, our mission is to empower women, build confidence, and foster community connection.
The Centre is a lifeline for so many women - a place to feel heard, supported, and encouraged. None of this is possible without fundraising and the generosity of our community.
