We are a passionate and inviting sports club that covers the Nelson Tasman region.
NEW MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION SYSTEM
ALL membership must join the NEW registration system.
Membership for the year November 1, 2024, to October 31, 2025, is now open.
The Nelson Triathlon and Multisport Club aims to promote enjoyment and to help you achieve your goals within the related sports of triathlon, duathlon, multisport and open water swimming. Entry to our events is not restricted to club members, however, we encourage you to support the club and the sport of triathlon in New Zealand by becoming members.
We have entered into a relationship with our national body, Triathlon New Zealand. As a club our link with Tri NZ is important to not only to support Triathlon in NZ but also to maintain our insurance for all our races, including the swims.
As an affiliated club, our membership is now routed through Tri NZ membership. When you sign up for membership, you’ll first be asked to choose a level of Tri NZ membership that suits your goals. Triathletes who plan to compete in major events throughout New Zealand should choose full TRIBE Membership Club. When you join TRIBE you get exclusive access to special partner offers regular news updates and the opportunity to compete in international and domestic competitions (National Championships). If you only plan to race locally, or if you’re just competing in our sea swim events, you choose Social Membership. You’ll then be asked to select an additional purchase that allows you to select the Nelson Triathlon Membership.
