Canterbury Classic Triathlon & Duathlon

The Canterbury Classic is presented as an "old school, honest" triathlon and duathlon held at Corsair Bay. The event offers multiple race options for a range of ages and abilities, including Olympic and short courses, aquabike choices, and a kids aquathon for 5 to 12 year olds.

The Olympic distance options are:

Swim 1500m or Run 3–4km
Bike 38–39km with plenty of hills
Run 9–10km

Aquabike options combine the swim and bike segments without a run.

The short distance options are:

Swim 300m or Run 1.7km
Bike 12km with a good dose of hills
Run 3.4km

The Kids Aquathon is aimed at 5 to 12 year olds and includes a swim or wade plus a run. Past editions have included national championship-level races and published results for multiple years. The event relies on community support and volunteers to operate. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
