SPOT PRIZES DRAWN!
And just like that it was our last & final LAKE ESMOND Series race for the season. It was a brilliant sunny day for our last event of the Lake Esmond 25/25 season with Race 3 in March. We had a great turn out for our Triathlon and Duathlon races, and included a family that teamed up to race the 3 legs. Participants travelled from all over Victoria and one from overseas! Wonderful fun racing in a stressfree environment. Bags of goodies were given out for the lucky spot prize winners! We are very grateful to our Volunteers, Marshals and Committee members for organising and hosting the event. A massive thank you for the participants for racing and their supporters for also coming along.

Whether you're looking to try something new or build towards your next big race, we'd love to see you at Lake Esmond!
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.
Take part solo or in a team. Individuals can also choose to complete just one or two legs of the triathlon if that suits you best.
