Organisers of the IRONMAN 70.3 Taupo event in December are offering Tri Clubs around New Zealand the chance to have two of their club members race alongside IRONMAN legend Cameron Brown.
The December 9 event is the perfect start to the season for many athletes, especially those aiming up at the full IRONMAN New Zealand event at the same location in March, but it is also a chance for many athletes to ease into their summer by racing in the team category, with three athletes sharing the three disciplines on race day.
Event Director Wayne Reardon described the opportunity to race with Brown and pick his brains as the stuff of dreams for club triathletes.
"Cameron is an amazing athlete, he just keeps turning in incredible performances and is showing no signs of letting father time slow him down. He is also an amazing person and has pledged to share his knowledge of the sport, training and how to manage a race day with his new team mates - it is truly a money cant buy experience and one that will ensure bragging rights for a long, long time for the lucky athletes, and their club."
While it is two individuals who will race with Cameron on the day, it is the Tri Clubs that can earn that prize. The affiliated IRONMAN approved Tri Club that has the most athletes registered for Taupo 70.3 will win the services of Cameron Brown as a swimmer in a team, as well as a VIP tent location at the finish line, for all their members to enjoy on the day.
