GETTING TO KNOW TRIATHLON AND MULTI-SPORT PROFESSIONAL ENDURANCE CHAMPION, BRADEN CURRIE

Born in 1986, Braden Currie was raised on a small-town farm in mid-Canterbury, New Zealand. Now, Currie is one of the most respected multi-sport athletes in the world and is endorsed by several global brands including Garmin, Asics, and RedBull. Currie began his career in off-road racing, but after claiming titles in the New Zealand and Asia Pacific XTERRA Championships, as well as the New Zealand Olympic-distance, long-distance, and ultra-distance triathlons, Currie officially transitioned into a professional endurance career.

Currie is currently training and preparing to compete in the Ironman World Championships, and as an athlete who always tries to push past his limits, he is aiming for nothing less than the best. With the mentality of a true competitor, Currie won his first attempt at IRONMAN New Zealand in 2017. He twice captured gold at the 2018 and 2019 Asia Pacific Championships, and also placed fifth at the 2018 World Championships in Kona.
