Organisers of Nutri-Grain Ironman New Zealand have confirmed the event cannot take place as planned this weekend.
A statement from organisers said, under New Zealand Government's Covid-19 Alert Level 2, events of more than 100 people could not take place meaning that Ironman NZ could not be held in Taupōon March 6 and 7.
The event team was working on a postponement date, but this was highly contingent on multiple factors aligning, the statement said.
It is hopeful that a clearer picture on whether a postponement would be possible or not would be known in the next 24 hours.
