Teretonga Park hosts the first event in the Wensley's Cycles Winter Series by Southland Triathlon and Multisport Club, incorporating Oreti Beach. This event serves as a practical winter workout, featuring run-only options, junior races, and participants using either road or mountain bikes based on their equipment and desired intensity.
The primary options are "Duathlon (Run + Bike + Run)" or "Multisport (Kayak + Bike + Run)", with additional run-only categories for juniors and open participants. The field is expected to include a range of competitors, from novices warming up their winter legs to club members familiar with the challenges of cold transitions. The event's draw lies in its straightforward approach: arrive, select your discipline, compete in a familiar Southland motorsport and beach environment, and begin the season.
