ITC Monthly Club Race

NOTE - THE APRIL RACE IS A HANDICAP FORMAT FOR BOTH SHORT AND LONG COURSE!

This means we work out start times based on past races. So the slowest will go off first and the fastest at the end. The aim is that everyone will finish close together and everyone is a chance at first over the line.

You will get a start time at signon on the day.

FREE FOR ITC MEMBERS!

FREE KIDS TRIATHLON!

Join us for our monthly tri club races in one of the most scenic locations in the Illawarra!

We cater for all levels and abilities - First timers, Paralympians, former and future World Champions! All participants and ability levels welcome.

All events are conducted with sanctioning by AusTriathlon

For Adults and ages 12+ our standard club races are a non-drafting format during the bike portion unless otherwise directed, with staggered swim wave starts depending on expected finish time and experience level to maximise your enjoyment while competing (or smiling and completing!).

For Kids Triathlons (U12) a race briefing on the length of each swim / bike / run will be run through by our Race Director before the start of each Kids Triathlon. We encourage Parents & Responsible Adults to get involved with your little triathlete during their event, especially helping them going into the water for their swim if the need some assistance. We want a fun and supportive environment for our young athletes, and cheering on or giving a helping hand is greatly encouraged through their event to help them get to the finish if its needed.

We will have an race briefing by our Club Race Director before the start of each race with any extra details you need before starting.

Head over to www.itc.org.au for more info, check out our Facebook page here and follow us on Instagram @illawarratriclub for up to date info.
