Kona slots and Prize Money

IM New Zealand has 1m+1f Pro Kona slot(s). It has a total prize purse of 50.000 US$, paying 8 deep. (When the race calendar was first announced for 2021, there were also 2 “unassigned” slots, but considering the small and local character of the fields, these will no longer be awarded.)

Male Race Participants

The strength of the field is 13% of a typical Kona field.

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

  • Mike Phillips: 49% (1-1)
  • Braden Currie: 39% (2-1)
  • Cameron Brown: 7% (13-1)

Kyle Smith is unbeaten in five races on the 70.3 distance, beating Braden Currie in the last three ones. With his swim and bike strength you can expect him to be at (or close to) the front, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens on the run.

Female Race Participants

  • Melanie Burke: 46% (1-1)
  • Rebecca Clarke: 34% (2-1)

As on the men’s side, an “Iron rookie” is likely to play a big role in the race: Hannah Wells has shown great performances on the half distance and is stepping up to the full in Taupo.
