Southland Triathlon and Multisport Club Winter Series: Race 4

Teretonga Park and Oreti Beach give this winter-series stop a plain, southern edge: practical, exposed, and built around getting the work done. It is part of Southland Triathlon and Multisport Club's Wensley's Cycles Winter Series, featuring duathlon and multisport events rather than a straight road race feel. Expect a mix of run, bike, and for multisporters, kayak legs, with options that suit people turning up for a hard hit-out as well as those just keeping winter fitness honest. The bike leg is open to "road bikes or mountain bikes", which says a lot about the tone: bring what you have, race the format, and do not overcomplicate it.
