Kids, we need you!
On December 14 and 15, we will have over 6000 athletes from 119 countries racing in Taupō for the VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships, and we need your help!

Can you help us by writing a letter titled ‘With Love from Taupō’ giving them some helpful advice for their race and wishing them lots of luck?

Athletes will then take their letters back to their home countries and share them with their family and friends, saving them as a keepsake from their IRONMAN race in Taupō! Please visit the weblink below for more information:

We are looking for the Taupō District’s best letter writers to pen a message of support to athletes taking on the challenge of their lives.
