Marra Sprint Triathlon | 29th March 2026
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Mauao (Mount Maunganui), the Marra Sprint Triathlon returns for the 39th year.
Our signature Sprint Distance Event is a draft legal race on a flat and fast course taking in both Pilot Bay and Marine Parade and the run taking in the Mount Base Track. As always this event attracts many local and visiting athletes and caters for novice to experienced athletes of all abilities.
This is a friendly event that always has a great atmosphere and attracts some fantastic participants to our local shores.
