Hi All,
A very successful Ray White Darwin NT Sprint Distance Championships & NT Junior Championships were conducted at Lake Alexander yesterday (albeit as duathlon format due to the continued closure of Lake A).
Our sincere thanks to RD Scott Bevis for his efforts with this event. How good was it to have the lights flashing on Ross Smith Ave ?! A huge thank you also to all our volunteers (and there were many) who assisted with these events, we really really appreciate your efforts.
We acknowledge and thank our event sponsor, Ray White Darwin, for their generous support of our event. With Korgan Hucent in action in Mooloolaba, it was over to Nic from Ray White Darwin to handle presentations. Nic is also a triathlete in waiting and was inspired by your efforts yesterday.
Don't forget that our next event is a 4.30pm start at Lake Bennett for the Kerran Mudgway Memorial Club Championships. Contact number for those who may wish to stay the night at the Resort (and we encourage you to do so) is given below.
