About the race
The Marra Construction Tinman Triathlon is a multi-distance triathlon held in the greater Mount Maunganui area. It is part of the Tri NZ Suzuki National Series and acts as the selection event for the World Triathlon Age Group Standard Triathlon Championships in Hamburg, Germany (September 2027). The event programme includes multiple race formats across age groups and para categories, with specified drafting rules for each distance and separate youth and splash events. Aid stations are provided on the run course with water and electrolyte products; no gels or other food items are supplied on course.

Registration includes a race pack with timing transponder, swim cap, helmet and bike stickers. Online entries close before race weekend; late entries and transfers incur fees. Refund and cancellation policies are specified, including partial refunds for Covid-19 cancellations and no refunds for cancellations due to certain extreme events.
Prizegiving and finisher medals are awarded across categories, with age-group medals for the Standard distance in line with Triathlon NZ rules.
