for Victoria’s Premier Triathlon series Race 3

st kilda: sunday 14th January 2018

D

ue to the original date of Race 3 (7 January 2018) being so close to the

start of the year, the organisers of Victoria’s Premier Triathlon Series

(formerly Gatorade Triathlon Series) have decided to move the race

date back one week so there’s plenty of time to resume training after the

Christmas break, and everyone has settled back into the new year. So feel free to

overindulge at your Christmas lunches and dinners because you now have an extra

week to tune up the body and prepare for the first triathlon in 2018.

check out all the race bundles and series specials available on the website.

There are 3, 5 and 6 race bundles available, which gives you flexibility and packed

with added value and awesome savings. Check them all out at:

The SunSmart Busselton

Festival of Triathlon,

incorporating the SunSmart

IRONMAN 70.3 Busselton is

back for 2018 and is better than

ever - this year event organisers have added a Long

Course Duathlon into the Festival events.

“It is such a great, fun weekend that we want there

to be a way for everyone to be involved in the

Festival. By adding the Long Course Duathlon, with

the Open Water Swim, the Fun Run and Teams

event, it gives people another option,” says Event

Duathlon will be on Sunday 6 May 2018, running

concurrently with the IRONMAN 70.3 for individuals

and teams. The race will be a 90.1km bike and a
