Thank you for your understanding around our original Race #1 of the series being cancelled at short notice. For those who may have missed the reason, it was due to the State Government taking over the DEC complex for the Meningococcol Vaccine Clinic over the weekend of 4 and 5 August. Unfortunately we did not have an option and could not change the venue at short notice due to permit requirements and insurance documentation that needs to be submitted weeks in advance.
But great news, a third race has been scheduled to re-instate this as a three-race series and provides a great opportunity for all experience and fitness levels to compete or just have fun on a completely closed course (no vehicles) at the Derwent Entertainment Centre (the DEC). Racing is organised by your local triathlon club, Triathlon South.
Come and enjoy a Sprint Distance (Run 4.5km, Ride 18.8km, Run 2.4km), or a shorter Enticer distance (Run 1.9km, Ride 11km, Run 1.9km). A great way to start a Sunday morning.
This year we are playing for points! Your two best scores from the Sprint distance race will be calculated and a major cash prize of $250 each for overall best female and male will be up for grabs and presented after the conclusion of Race 3. And, there are also spot prizes to win back your race entry fee at the conclusion of each race as part of our sponsor spot prize draw (must be present to win).
