2025 Team Races
Team races are voted on team members by each year. The results are based on the two most popular events in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
There must be at least 15 athletes attending for a team race to proceed. This is due to the resources required with sending a captain or oursevles as well as getting the team tent there.
At team events we coordinate a pre or post race team social catch up with a team photo opportunity. Its also a chance to get together for a shake out session prior to race day.
Below are the official team races for 2025.
- Mount Festival of Multisport - January 18th
- Ironman New Zealand & IM 70.3 New Zealand - March 1st
- Ironman Australia & IM 70.3 Port Macquarie - May 4th

Ironman Tri Club Affiliation
We are part of the Ironman Tri Club program and we have a good time scoring points. This is a global competition against other triathlon clubs world wide.
We would appreciate if you would list The Cupcake Cartel as your tri club. Anyone who finishes a 70.3 or Ironman scores points. Your points are like cupcakes and we like cupcakes.
Our favourite past time is trying to take down the big ambassador program teams. Rally behind us as we strive for those end of season team trophies!
