Port of Tauranga was today named an official supporter of Tauranga’s Triple Crown of World Triathlon events for the next three years.
The Port is sponsoring the series’ volunteer programme for Tauranga’s hosting of the 2026 World Triathlon Cup, the 2027 World Triathlon Championship Series, and the 2028 World Triathlon Championship Series Grand Final.
More than 3,000 volunteers will act as course marshals, grandstand ushers and airport greeters, among other roles.
Port of Tauranga Chief Executive, Leonard Sampson, said the three major events were an incredible opportunity for Tauranga as host city, attracting a myriad of visitors, international attention and widespread economic benefit.
“Port of Tauranga has a proud history of supporting elite sports events held in our community, so it made perfect sense to lend our backing to this exciting series and ensure a long-lasting legacy.”
