Teretonga Park, near Oreti Beach, provides this winter series round with a straightforward Southland atmosphere: arrive, register, compete with what you have. This is Race 3 of the Southland Triathlon and Multisport Club's Wensley's Cycles Winter Series, featuring run/walk, duathlon, multisport, kids, and run-only events, all sharing a practical club-race ethos.
The format is straightforward and practical for winter conditions: run-bike-run, kayak-bike-run, or simply run, based on your entry. You will observe participants using "road bikes or mountain bikes," which reflects the participants: varied, unpretentious, and welcoming to both new competitors and the regulars who enjoy a cold-weather challenge.
