Train specifically for the Tauranga Half

The Tauranga Half is one of New Zealand's iconic summer triathlons. A fast course doesn't necessarily mean an easy race. You still need the fitness to swim confidently, ride 90 km strongly and then run well off the bike.

The 12-week programme progressively develops the endurance and race-specific fitness you need to arrive at Mount Maunganui properly prepared.

2 km Swim

90 km Bike

21.1 km Run

Running at Mount Festival?

You don't need to be racing the Tauranga Half to train with Foot Traffic. We also have structured training plans specifically for the Mount Festival Half Marathon, 10K and 5K.

21.1 KM
