🏊‍♀️🏃‍♂️ CANTERBURY TRIATHLON CLUB AQUATHLON SERIES

Swim, run, have fun!

Keen to get some race practice in, build confidence, or simply enjoy training with fellow club members? Join us at Lake Rua for our Canterbury Triathlon Club Aquathlon Series!

This is designed to be a relaxed, low-key, Parkrun-style event — a glorified training session where you can challenge yourself, practise your race skills, and enjoy some friendly club camaraderie. Finish times will be recorded, so you can track your progress throughout the series.

Whether you're a developing young athlete, a junior looking for more race experience, or an experienced triathlete wanting a midweek training hit, there’s an option for you!
