"Reflecting on last year's Kiwiman Extreme Triathlon, I can't help but smile at the adventure it was. It's not often in life that you get a second chance, a 'do-over,' to rewrite your race narrative. This event offered me just that opportunity. Imagine swimming, biking, and running in the most breathtaking landscapes, all while forging unbreakable bonds with like-minded athletes. At Kiwiman, you'll experience the thrill of pushing your limits, fuelling your body with energy-packed strategies, and cheering each other on through headwinds and climbs. From sunrise swims to sprinting through the finish line in the dark, every moment becomes a testament to your spirit. It's more than a triathlon; it's an extraordinary journey of camaraderie, resilience, and personal triumph." 

I can honestly say I don’t feel changed by an event so much as this one. Somehow it really got into my soul. I think it was because for so long I thought I wasn’t going to make it, and then when I finally did – that sense of elation and achievement was immense.

“I raced in the Inaugural Kiwiman in 2018,  2019 and completed the double in 2021.

As a multiple Ironman finisher I wanted to test myself a little further. This race has all the endurance challenges and more,  but with a real community feeling. Having your support crew follow and share the experience makes it unique. The scenery is spectacular and the course brutal. Of all the races this is the one that makes me most proud.

Definitely a bucket list for any seasoned athlete as well as an introduction to ultra distance for those wishing to give it a try in a team”
