E NEWS 4 NOVEMBER 2016




We have thunderstorms predicted over the coming days so it's no surprise that our wet season Aquathlon / Splash N Dash events get started this weekend with the running of our popular 200m swim, 2km run x 2 format at the Waterfront.

You don't need your alarm clock (start time 6pm) and you can leave your bike at home, so how easy is that?

We know some of our members may not be up for the x 2, but don't be shy, form a team or just enter and let us know at check in that you are only doing 200/2.

1.  Noosa Triathlon, 1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run

Rob Taylor 13th M30-34 2:12:05
