We are a volunteer club that organises a wide range of events in Southern Tasmania, aiming to grow the sport of Triathlon by providing a friendly and supportive environment for competitors of all levels.
We are Tasmania’s largest triathlon club (by membership base) and offer a Summer triathlon series (three races – and we provide duathlon and aquabike options to encourage involvement to those who don’t swim and/or run), a Winter duathlon series (three or four races – no swim leg), a cross-triathlon event (off-road triathlon on mountain bike), and two aquathlon events (no bike). Through club affiliated coaches, we also offer swim and run training sessions. There is also a number of informal training groups at various levels who organise themselves outside of the Club’s main channels.
The club is not-for-profit, run by an elected Board and a general committee, with all proceeds from race events re-invested to establish a safe, challenging and fun triathlon scene in Southern Tasmania. No single individual or group of Triathlon South is paid – all work is entirely voluntary.
How do we finance our events?
– membership fees (a very small portion of what you pay to Triathlon Australia comes back to the club which is why nominating us as your club is so important)
– race entry fees
– sponsorship
– occasional grants (where eligible, and more often used for new or upgrading event infrastructure, such as two-way radios for volunteers on course, and trailer maintenance).
