Help Kris represent New Zealand at the Ironman World Championships in Nice, France!
Lincoln, Canterbury
Hello, I’m Kris
Earlier this year I achieved something I never thought possible — I qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Nice, France. It’s the pinnacle of our sport: 3.8km swim, 180km bike, and a full marathon to finish (226km in total).
This is more than just a race for me. It’s the result of:
• 44 weeks of training alongside a full-time job
• Countless early mornings and late nights
• Overcoming injuries and setbacks along the way
• The dream of proving that an everyday Kiwi can push limits and take on the world stage

Why I Need Your Help
The opportunity is huge, but so are the costs. Between flights, accommodation, and race entry fees, it’s a challenge to make it all happen on my own.
That’s why I’m reaching out to my community — friends, family, locals, and anyone who believes in backing someone chasing a big dream.

Follow the Journey
I’ll be sharing regular updates from training in New Zealand through to race week in France so you can follow along and see exactly what your support makes possible.
This isn’t just about me — it’s about showing what consistency, community, and determination can achieve. Together, we can take a bit of Kiwi spirit all the way to the Ironman World Championships.
Thank you so much for helping make this dream possible. Every bit of support means the world.
