Why Triathlon?
Triathlon is an invitation. It belongs to no one and everyone. There’s no right way to do it. It’s pure movement. A partnership between us, our bodies and our mind. Triathlons and the emotions that come with it are a personal invitation we choose to accept. This event is a giant invitation to swim, bike and run, with us.
To connect with people we believe inspiration is the bridge between their community and Tineli. Inspiration is made up of emotion and emotions are fuelled by connections. Unite these connections together with an event and you get power. Power leads people to action. More action more sales.
The emotion associated with a triathlon event is huge. Partnering with this event gives you the ability to form a relationship with these people, resulting in Tineli being an inspirational leader and making lifelong connections with this community.
A celebration of triathlon and community.
There is no better location for a triathlon then Mount Maunganui. This popular holiday location is known for it’s extinct volcano, ocean-view trails, long sandy beach, surf, hot pools, coffee spots, restaurants, and boutique shopping.

SIMILAR EVENT
The event we would like to mirror is the successful Noosa Triathlon in Australia.
Noosa Tri is an internationally acclaimed event for many reasons. The scenic course starts from the golden beaches then heads inland and up the coast. Its stunning location, its history, a now four-decade long tradition of athletes descending on the surf town to compete. The atmosphere that stretches off the course and into the shopping and restaurants and after-party.

Whether you’re competing or cheering on the sidelines, the atmosphere at the Noosa Tri is like no other. Competitors combine racing with a holiday. This is Australia’s largest, oldest and highest profile triathlon event. One of the world’s largest Olympic distance triathlons and the biggest multi-sports festival in the Southern Hemisphere, the five-day event attracts over 13,000 competitors from across the globe and more than 30,000 spectators.
