Long Course Weekend New Zealand
Long Course Weekend is a unique sports festival that offers an unbeatable atmosphere. Over three days, athletes can choose events from three sporting disciplines (swim, bike, run) and multiple distances to create a tailor-made weekend course for their ability. For those looking to push their limits there is the Long Course option – the longest distance in each discipline. Each Long Course Athlete who finishes will receive the coveted fourth medal for their medal stack and an exclusive polo shirt.
Long Course Weekend events are world-famous for their atmosphere and spectacular finish lines and this hugely popular format is returning to New Zealand for the second year. Do not miss out, enter now!
