Event Accreditation

Triathlon New Zealand provides event accreditation to triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike, cross triathlon and other related multisport events to ensure they are delivered in a safe and fair environment.

There are two levels of accreditation that include a range of benefits ranging from technical support to promotional leverage. Each level of accreditation aims to:

give added value to event organisers
