The race
The Kiwiman Xtreme Triathlon features a challenging course set against the backdrop of New Plymouth and Taranaki Maunga. The full course begins with a swim in Lake Rotomanu, followed by an extensive bike ride that weaves around the mountain, showcasing the region’s diverse landscapes. The event culminates with a run that leads participants to the mountain’s base, providing a unique combination of scenic views and physical endurance.
For those seeking a shorter experience, the 0.5 Kiwiman Xtreme offers a condensed version of the course. This option includes a swim in the picturesque Lake Ratapiko, a demanding bike segment that traverses the rugged inland hills, and a run that starts at sea level, finishing at Lake Mangamahoe.
Participants can choose to compete solo or as part of a team, allowing for flexibility in tackling the various segments of the race. The atmosphere is characterized by a strong sense of community, with local support enhancing the experience for all competitors.
