The southern hemisphere's oldest IRONMAN: stunning lake swim, rolling volcanic-plateau bike and superb organisation.
Crystal-clear two-lap swim in Lake Taupo, cool, fresh and typically glassy at dawn.
Two-lap out-and-back on the Broadlands Road plateau — long steady drags and exposed sections rather than steep climbs.
Three-lap run along the lakefront and through Taupo town, with one persistent hill each lap.
Actual monthly averages from the last 3 years (Open-Meteo). Real race day may vary.
Water temp uses athlete-reported values first, then official race data, then the marine archive (sea swims, measured at the nearest offshore point). Values tagged est. are modelled from recent air temperature for lakes and rivers, where no observational data exists.
