Countdown to event

Fireco Northland Tri
& Trail

18 April 2026


The Fireco Northland Tri on Saturday 18 April 2026 features 3 different courses for the adult’s event and includes options for teams. This event also accommodates our tamariki with a kids course for ages 4 – 15 .

The start, finish and transition areas are all based at the stunning Pine Beach, also know as Kai Iwi Lakes. There is camping available so you can really make a weekend of it.

The course starts with the swim taking place at the main lake where the translucent water is not only an inviting beginning but a refreshing start to the event. Both the cycle and run courses include some significant hills, with the run being majority off road. With each transition occurring at one base the event makes for a fun atmosphere where spectators feel involved the whole way through.

This year marks the third and final year of the Battle of the North, where triathlon clubs from across the upper North Island go head‑to‑head in an exciting contest for the Kauri Shield. With both participation and podium points on offer, clubs will be fighting it out for ultimate northern bragging rights.

North Harbour are the reigning champions, having taken out the Shield last year

We’re excited to introduce the Trail Run to the Fireco Northland Tri! A brand-new option for anyone who wants to be part of the event without taking on the swim or bike.

This run is designed for all runners, whether you’re a regular trail enthusiast or just looking for a fun challenge in a stunning location. You do not need to be entered in the triathlon to take part, the Trail Run stands on its own as an awesome experience.

With amazing scenery and a course that highlights some of Northland’s best natural features, this new race adds another way to get involved in an already iconic event. It’s a chance to enjoy the atmosphere, be part of the energy, and experience the beauty of the area from a whole new angle.

Our trail run offers something for everyone, with three exciting distance options to suit all fitness levels and goals. Take on the challenge of the 14km course for a rewarding and scenic adventure, or opt for the 8.5km distance for a shorter but equally enjoyable trail experience.

For those who prefer a team approach, our fun and fast-paced team relay is a great way to get involved, covering a total of 4km made up of 1km laps, teams of 2, 3, or 4 can share the course, with each member completing 1km laps.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just out to enjoy the atmosphere, there’s a distance for everyone to get amongst it!
