Ironman New Zealand 2026 – Analyzing Results

IMNZ 2024Course Conditions

2026 was a typical year for IM New Zealand. The new bike course was about as hard as the older course (7:30 adjustment for this year, 7:08 average for the five year before). Matt Hanson ran a new marathon course record of 2:34:49, beating the 2019 time of 2:40:04 from Mike Philipps – all four top finishers were under the old record. There was also a new run course on the female side: Tamara Jewett ran a 2:42:40, seven minutes quicker than Chelsea Sodaro in 2024. Kat Matthews broke Chelsea’s overall course record – her 8:28:55 was more than eleven minutes faster.

IM New Zealand offered four male and four female Pro slots for Kona. These will be offered to:

  • Trevor Foley, Pierre Le Corre, Matt Hanson and Jack Moody (men)

Ironman New Zealand 2025 – Analyzing Results

Course Conditions

Overall, the conditions looked typical for Taupo (adjustment of 7:23 compared to a course rating of 7:45), maybe the bike was a bit faster and the run a bit slower. The close men’s race had the Top 7 going sub-8 – before this year Taupo had only five sub-8s in total. The men set new course records overall and on the bike. Joe Skipper improved on Andrew Staykowicz’s 2019 bike course record, and Mike Phillips took the overall course record from Joe (set in 2020). In addition, agegrouper Sam Askey-Doran set a new swim course record, his 43:15 was more than a minute faster than Dylan McNeice’s 2015 swim.

World Championship Qualifiers 

IM New Zealand had four slots each for the men and women. These will be offered to:

  • Mike Phillips, Joe Skipper, Jack Moody and Benjamin Zorgnotti for the men (Nice)
    and
  • Jocelyn McCauley, Nina Derron, Gabrielle Lemkes and Kate Gillespie-Jones for the women (Kona).

Female Winner Regan Hollioake was already qualified. The full list of qualifiers can be found here.
