🏆 Nuna Awards Night 2025/26 - Part 1

What a night! It was such a great chance to celebrate everyone’s achievements from the season, catch up, and enjoy some time together away from training and racing.

First up, here are our Short, Middle and Long Distance Athletes of the Year:

Huge congratulations to:

🥇 Short Course Athletes - Wendy Jordan / Cameron Marshall
🥇 Middle Distance Athletes - Regine Vandenberg / Jeff Pruis
🥇 Long Distance Athletes - Nichola On A Bike / Elijah Lewis

Well deserved winners👏 Stay Tuned for the Part 2 and 3..

A few weeks ago, the Nuna crew headed up north to beautiful Cairns, to take on Ironman Cairns & 70.3 - and what a weekend it was! 🌴🔥

A huge congratulations to everyone who raced, supported and represented Nuna up north. Full Ironman or 70.3, first-timer or returning racer - every athlete put in a massive effort and should be very proud 💙🤍

A special shoutout to Eli on his first full Ironman. Eli executed his race plan well, finishing in around 9.5 hours and placing 3rd in his age group. What a debut! We can’t wait to see what you do next💪

Well done also to Owen for completing the full distance for the first time - an incredible achievement👏

And a big shoutout to Jeff, who went back for a redemption race after Cairns 2 years ago. With his current fitness level, he got it done beautifully - and this time, no medical attention required! 😅

Another lovely moment from the weekend was Nat finishing just after our Gilmore Girls team, Abi and Mel - what a beautiful way to end the race. 🥹

Well done, Nuna crew - amazing racing all round. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️
