New Zealand s leading Ironman athletes are preparing to return to Taupō next week for the 37th Nutri-Grain Ironman New Zealand.
Previous winners, rising stars and Ironman debuts highlight the professional field, with athletes set to go head-to-head across a 3.8km swim, 180km ride and 42km run next Saturday.
The continued closure of international borders means the 2021 event will have a distinct Kiwi feel, with 13 professional athletes lining up.
The women s professional race will see multiple Ironman 70.3 winner Hannah Wells, of Tauranga, line up for her first full Ironman, racing against Rebecca Clarke, Melanie Burke and Emily McNaughtan.
