While most events around the country cater for the elitist and seasoned age groupers, this weekend's activities will focus on the family with an event schedule to suit ALL levels of fitness and all ages
Saturday's schedule will commence with the Australian Sprint Triathlon Championships [750m (S)/ 20km (B)/ 5km (R) ] followed by the Enticer TRYathlon [300m / 8 km / 2 km] for beginners and first timers.
Once these events are over and the day is warming up, it's time to line the streets and focus on the "kids". The completely traffic free, closed course will see hundreds of kids with smiles on their dials as they "have a go" in the McDonalds MINIMAN [Ages 7-12: 50m /2km /500m & 13-16: 150m/4km/1km]. All these events will be in a safe (enclosed salt water sea pool) and confident environment. EVERY kid who enters before the "due date" will receive an event shirt and a finisher's medal. No timing will be at these events, as we encourage participation over competition.
Once these events are over, you can grab a bite to eat at the many funky little cafes along the lake and beach and sit back and watch the fast and furious action of the Elites.
When the sun is at its peak we will start the Pro Tour Triathlon [Enduro Format - 300m (s) /8km (b) /2km (r) / 300m (s) /8km (b)/ 2km (r)]. This event will be draft legal and action packed and we will handicap the men and women. A great spectacle to see the men chase the women for line honours. Once this is over, don't move an inch as we commence the Elite Criterium. See some of NSW's legendary cyclists attack the streets of Forster in an exciting and spectacular finale to the day.
As the sun rises over Main Beach at Forster, hundred of athletes will prepare to reignite the spirit of long distance racing in Forster. The NSW Long Course Triathlon Championships [2km(s) /60km(b) / 15km (r)] will be a visual spectacle with a pristine ocean swim, a 2 lap bike course on the "old stomping grounds" of many a seasoned Ironman, and an undulating run course. Just like the "good old days" the finish will stir the spirits up that famous "finish chute" that has bought many an Ironman to tears.
