Auckland City Tri Club Duathlon

Mangere Bridge provides the Auckland City Tri Club Duathlon a distinct coastal character, utilizing flat paths, shared park trails, and quiet local roads. This sprint-distance run–bike–run event boasts a long history, serving as a notable fixture on the multi-sport calendar without requiring extensive promotion. The course design encourages a steady pace: run segments follow coastal concrete paths and shared trails, leading into a traffic-managed bike leg on local roads. The layout is flat and scenic, passing through Ambury Regional Park and along its walkways. It attracts a diverse field, including first-time duathletes, experienced competitors, juniors, age-group racers, and para-duathlon entrants. The "draft-legal" format in applicable categories offers a tactical dimension for more competitive racers, while others can focus on achieving a personal best.
