Join RATs Today!
Become a RATS member today and join our triathlon whānau in Rotorua. Our local triathlon club offers everything you need to stay active and connected. We run regular swim squads, bike rides, yoga sessions tailored to triathletes, and summer open water swims.
With a variety of events throughout the year, there’s always something to look forward to. Members receive a monthly newsletter packed with updates and training tips, and you can represent the club with our fun kit. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned athlete, we’d love to have you on board. Sign up today!
RATS and Triathlon NZ now have an integrated membership system (GameDay) whereby joining RATS, you will also see the Tri NZ membership options and no longer need to join Tri NZ separately. The membership process takes about 5mins and should look very similar to what you have seen from our club before.

New Club Kit
We have a limited number of club kit pieces for sale including cycle jerseys and tri suits!

Wetsuit Hire
RATS has wetsuits in a range of sizes for hire.
We ask for a bond of $100 which is returned to you when the wetsuit is returned to us. Hiring a wetsuit from RATS is a great opportunity for those looking to get into open water swimming or triathlon but aren’t sure about making the leap to buying a wetsuit.
Please fill in this form and email RATS to arrange hire.
SCHOLARSHIPS
We have two scholarships up for grabs each year! We’d love to help our RATS members achieve their triathlon goals.
