EVENT ACCREDITATION
2025/26 Technical Advisory Group
Triathlon New Zealand provides event accreditation to triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike, cross triathlon and other related multisport events to ensure they are delivered in a safe and fair environment.
There are two levels of accreditation (Sanctioned and Endorsed) that include a range of benefits ranging from technical support to promotional leverage. Each level of accreditation aims to:
- Give added value to event organisers
- Enhance the quality of events
- Build a strong and connected network of event providers
- Promote and leverage triathlon events nationwide
See below under the tabs ‘Sanctioned’ and ‘Endorsed’ for more information.
Any triathlon event that is accredited can purchase the following add-ons at the additional price (GST exclusive):
- Competitive Event Insurance – up to $1000 reduction on market rate (depending on event)
- On the ground officials/community ambassador – $300 for out of town, $150 for local

All Tri NZ Affiliated Clubs are required to endorse all club operated events through the Club Event Endorsement process.
