About this event

We are running a free pre-race tips and tricks clinic on Saturday 15th Nov, to help you get ready for race 1 on Sunday 16th! The tips and tricks clinic will be run by our Ballarat Triathlon Club members, and is perfect for those who are new to triathlon, haven't raced with us at Lake Esmond or those just needing a refresher.

It will give you an opportunity to get familiar with the course and transition area, and give you the chance to meet our club members and ask any questions you might have.

While the session is free, we ask that you please register for this session so we know who is coming.
