Nominations now open for triathlon
NOMINATIONS are now open for this year’s Yungaburra Triathlon which promises to attract around 600 competitors when it is held on 30 April-1 May.
The event, which started in 2014, is held on the May Day long weekend which allows more than 1,000 spectators and sponsors to come to the region.
Sponsored by Totally Workwear, the event was in danger of being lost until Tablelands Regional Council found a management company, MultiSports, late last year to run the popular race.
The triathlon involves several events:
The Enticer Triathlon to be held on 30 April. Minimum age is 13 years. Includes a 400m swim, 10km bike ride, and a 2.5km run. Entry is $85 each of $170 for a team.
Junior Triathlon to be held on 30 April. For ages of 7-13 years. Includes a 200m swim leg, 5km bike ride, and a 1km run. Entry is $40 each or $80 for a team.
Standard Triathlon to be held on 1 May. Minimum age is 15 years. Includes a 1.5km swim, 40km bike leg, and a 10km run. Entry is $165 each or $330 for a team.
Sprint Triathlon to be held on 1 May. Minimum age is 14 years. Includes a 750m swim, a 20km bike leg, and a 5km run. Entry is $115 each or $230 for a team.
Organisers are seeking volunteers to help make the event a success. Anyone who is interested should go to the https://yungaburratriathlon.org/ to register their interest.
Registrations for the races close on 28 April and can also be made through the website.
