❄️ Winterman 2026 – Save the Date!
Saturday 15 August | Meet 7:30am | Freyberg Beach
Winterman is back!
It's become a club tradition, this time with a slightly different course to make use of the new facilities we have in our beautiful Welly.
Whether you're preparing for a long-course event, building fitness through winter, or simply keen to spend a quality day training alongside fellow club members, Winterman is all about getting together, challenging yourself, and enjoying some solid miles with good company.
Choose Your Adventure
You can tackle:
🏅 The Full Monty (Half Ironman-style distance)
or
🔀 Pick & Mix – choose the distances and disciplines that you feel like doing on the day, no stress :)
The Full Monty
For those wanting the full experience:
🏊 Ocean Swim – 15–20 minutes (conditions permitting)
🚴 90km Bike Ride
Start from Freyberg
Follow the new cycleway to Eastbourne and return
Continue over Wainui Hill
Out along the Coast Road to the turnaround point
Return to Freyberg
Approximately 90km total
🏃 21km Run
Around the bays
Including the Mt Victoria climb on the return
Finish back at Freyberg
Flexible Options
Not keen on the full distance? No problem.
You can:
Skip the swim or swim later
Do an ocean swim or use the pool afterwards
Ride only to Eastbourne (60k roundtrip) for a shorter bike option
Choose a flatter, shorter run around the bays
Join for just one discipline or any combination that suits
The aim is participation. Come along (you'll push yourself harder when you train with others) and make the most of a great winter day out.
📅 Saturday 15 August
📍 Freyberg Beach
⏰ Meet at 7:30am
More details will follow, but for now mark the date in your calendar and start thinking about your Winterman training, join our Saturday group rides or Friday ocean swims to acclimatise :).
We'd love to see you there!
