IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Triathlon Hawkes Bay have good news and bad news for you.
We will start with the bad…. Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty around Covid, potential future travel restrictions and the expense of a small Triathlon Club managing a race the size of Harbour to Hills, it has been decided, along with our Sponsors and our Committee, that we won’t be hosting a Napier Port Harbour to Hills “Real” event in 2021. We know this will bring disappointment to many of you and we really enjoyed hosting you over the past few years. The event kept getting bigger and better but there are just too many obstacles and risks to be able to host the event next year.
However, the really, really good news is that in conjunction with Napier Port, Tri HB will be hosting a Napier Port Harbour to Hills VIRTUAL EVENT on 11, 12, 13 December in 2020! Yes, another event in 2020 :)
This virtual event is open to anyone and of all abilities. We have swim only options (starting from 500 metres for adults/100 metres for kids), cycle only options (starting from 20km for adults/5km for kids), run only options (starting from 5km for adults/1.5km for kids), triathlon options (small triathlon right up to H2H full distance) and a kids category for 7-14 year olds.
All entry details and registrations are on this link https://events.onetime.sport/event/751
Cost is just $25 for all adults disciplines (same price for a 5km walk as it is for a long triathlon) and kids disciplines (7-14 year olds) are only $10 until 30 November (or until sold out) and then increase to $25 – so get in quick.
All NZ finishers will receive a stunning Harbour to Hills 2020 Medal and a Harbour to Hills drink bottle (entry fee includes postage costs) and you will go in the draw to win great spot prizes! Plus it gives you a reason to get out and exercise pre Christmas. You can challenge your friends and family overseas or next door, get a workplace group going and/or get the kids involved.
We are so excited to offer you this opportunity. Please see the link for details – it is super easy to upload results and be part of this Virtual event. You do not have to be great at technology – anyone can do it and we can help you along the way. There will be limited entries available (as we have limited medals and drink bottles) so we suggest you get in F A S T!
The challenge is out there – are you going to take it on?
