The IRONMĀORI Quarter & Half is an indigenous-led triathlon held annually in Ahuriri (Napier), New Zealand, rooted in Māori heritage and well-being. Participants can choose between the Quarter (1 km swim, 50 km bike, 10.5 km run/walk) or the more challenging Half (2 km swim, 90 km bike, 21.1 km run/walk), with the option to compete solo, in discipline-specific solo entries, or as part of a three-person relay team. First launched in 2009 by Heather Te Au‑Skipworth, IRONMĀORI has grown into New Zealand’s largest half and quarter-distance triathlon, drawing around 3,000 participants in 2023 and combining endurance sport with a focus on whānau, mental health, and community connection.
