Description of medium and long term objectives
Triathlon New Zealand Incorporated is the National Sporting Body responsible for promoting the multi-sport disciplines of
Triathlon and other swim/bike/run combinations, as defined by the Triathlon New Zealand Incorporated constitution.
Our Aspiration: Growing Stronger Together
Mission: Enable active communities through shared triathlon experiences
Vision: To inspire a love for triathlon in New Zealand
We have been an incorporated society since 1 October 1984. We are supported by High Performance Sport NZ and Sport NZ and
also rely on membership fees, gaming trust funds and sponsorship. As of 31 December 2025 we have 27 member clubs
throughout NZ affiliated to us. Whilst our strategy is Olympic Cycle based (four yearly), our long-term goal is to ensure that
Triathlon in New Zealand continues to thrive, and that our elite athletes continue to excel on the world stage.
Our focus in our 2025 - 2029 strategy is:
Triathlon Leadership - Coordinate and drive the Triathlon in New Zealand Priorities
We have done this by holding seven national series events between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2025, where age group
athletes were able to qualify to represent New Zealand at World Championship events. In addition to that, we also sanctioned
and endorsed 32 community triathlon events across the North and South Islands (All delivered locally by clubs and event
providers). We trained and accredited Technical Officials to manage event rules, standards and safety at our community and
national series events.
Medal Winning Performances - Deliver an Olympic Medal in 2028
This is a stated outcome in our agreement with HSPNZ, and our HP programme will build towards and support athletes on the
road to the Olympic Games in LA in 2028.
Sustainability - financial and governance
We are diversifying our revenue by actively seeking new revenue through sponsorship, gaming funding, events, and by growing
our membership.
