HTC Winter Duathlon Series - Race 3 2026

KartSport Hamilton in Ōhaupō provides this winter duathlon with a neat, managed atmosphere: laps, transitions, and no traffic to consider. The HTC Winter Duathlon Series - Race 3 is the third event in Hamilton Triathlon Club’s winter series, with a straightforward objective: run, ride, run, then dry off and discuss results. The key feature is the "closed-course venue," making the bike leg less anxious than a group road ride. Skilled participants and seasoned competitors can race under drafting rules and cycling etiquette, while Try-A-Duo offers a "friendly, non-competitive choice" for juniors, beginners, and anyone "unwilling to ride in a group." Entry is open to non-members, making it a practical practice session without requiring extensive club involvement.
