THANK YOU TO ALL OUR COMPETITORS AND VOLUNTEERS - WHAT A GREAT EVENT!

SPOT PRIZE WINNERS


Today we held our first race for the 25/26 season

It was great to see many familiar faces back and racing, and to welcome many first timers and new members to the club

Today was also our first time using our brand new race result timing system - including transition times!

We are very grateful to Community Bank Buninyong and the City of Ballarat for their support which has made this much needed upgrade possible  




Thank you for joining in on the first race of the Lake Esmond Triathlon & Duathlon Series!

These races have a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making them a great way to experience triathlon or duathlon in a low-pressure setting. You'll see a mix of first-timers, returning athletes, and experienced triathletes on the start line - and everyone is encouraged to get involved.
