Yesterday we completed the Kirikiroa Half Marathon! It was a great day out and a reminder of what can be achieved with consistent training and support.

Hi, we’re Gabriella and Hazel — two working mums who recently stepped into the world of triathlon.

Like many people, we were looking for a way to challenge ourselves, improve our fitness, and connect with others, but we also needed something that fit around work, family life, and busy schedules. We wanted a place close to home where people could train together, support one another, and enjoy the journey of triathlon without having to travel far.

That’s why we started Te Awamutu Tri Club.

Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive community where people of all ages and abilities can train, learn, and grow together. Whether you’re an experienced triathlete, training for your first event, or simply curious about giving triathlon a go, you’ll find encouragement, friendship, and like-minded people here.

We’re still on our own triathlon journey and learning along the way, which is why we understand how important it is to have support, encouragement, and people to share the experience with. We’d love for you to join us as we build confidence, achieve goals, celebrate successes, and support each other every step of the way.

Come and join us as we build a thriving triathlon community in Te Awamutu.

Te Awamutu Tri Club – Founding Members Wanted!

We’re excited to officially begin building Te Awamutu Tri Club — starting first and foremost as a community of people who want to train together, support each other, and create something positive for our local area.

Right now we’re beginning as a community training group where beginners and experienced athletes can connect, train together, learn from each other, and stay motivated. As we grow, the vision is to develop into a fully established club with coaching, events, gear, and more.

This community will initially be based in Te Awamutu, with plans to expand into Cambridge as interest grows.

To help us take the next step toward formally establishing the club and becoming a registered organisation, we’re opening 10 Founder Member spots.

🔥 Founder Member Benefits

First 5 Founder Members
✅ Membership: First 6 months free
✅ Official Founder Member status
✅ Help us reach our registration goals
✅ Have a voice in the future direction of the club

Next 5 Founder Members
✅ Membership: First 3 months free
✅ Official Founder Member status
✅ Help us reach our registration goals
✅ Help shape the future of the club

Our Founder Members won’t just be names on a list — they’ll play an important role in helping establish the club and guiding its early direction, including:

• Club culture
• Training ideas
• Events and club direction
• Growth of the community

We’re also currently working on bringing coaches on board to support beginners and help members develop their skills.

If you already have experience in swimming, cycling, running, or triathlon and would enjoy helping others, we’d love to hear from you. We may be able to begin coaching sessions earlier with support from experienced members within the community.

Coaching would initially be a voluntary role, with the potential to become a paid opportunity as the club grows.

No matter your pace, fitness level, or experience — everyone is welcome.

💰 Membership (once fully established)
Annual membership will be $40 per year, with a 5% lifetime discount for all Founder Members.

Comment below or send us a message if you’d like to secure one of the 10 Founder Member spots!

P.S. Keep an eye out for our website coming soon. 👀

Welcome to Te Awamutu Tri Club — a community for people who enjoy swimming, cycling, and running, and want others to train alongside.

Whether you’re training for your first event, preparing for a triathlon, working toward an Ironman, or simply wanting to become fitter and more active, this group is about bringing people together and building a supportive local community.

At this stage, we are a community-based training group rather than a formal coached club. The focus is on:

• Training together
• Motivation and accountability
• Sharing knowledge and experiences
• Supporting beginners and experienced athletes alike
• Building friendships and a positive community

We are currently working behind the scenes to grow the club and bring on coaches and additional support as we develop, with the goal of creating even more opportunities for members in the future.

This community will initially be based in Te Awamutu, with plans to expand into Cambridge as interest grows.

No matter your pace, fitness level, or experience — everyone is welcome.

Train together. Grow together.
