Get ready for the most exhilarating weekend on the North Queensland sporting calendar as the Coral Sea Marina Resort Airlie Beach Triathlon Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary on August 16-17.
With Early Bird entries closing March 29th, now is the time to nominate and bring the whole family for some winter fun in the sun and enjoy some friendly competitive racing, with a weekend of events including Kids Triathlon, Ocean Swims and the best afterparty ever!
The Triathlon’s race director Michael Kimpton said that with an amazing course on the shores of the Coral Sea and views of the Whitsunday islands, this weekend has turned into an event not to be missed.
“Our 2025 festival promises to be bigger and better than ever with fun Aquabike and Duathlon options added to encourage all the family to get active over the two days of events.” Kimpton said.
This year’s event aims to inspire the next generation of triathletes with the Happy Run on Saturday afternoon. A race for children of all ages who many not be triathlon-ready yet, it’s a short run on safe closed roads where children can earn medals win exciting prizes like new bikes and running gear vouchers, and get stuck into some tasty lolly bags.
Kimpton says this year’s festival will feature record prizemoney, which has attracted the best triathlon fans and professionals racing in Australia, including Olympians and Commonwealth Games triathletes. Returning to announce your triumphs, Pete Murray is here to call the shots of all the racers, so you had better practice your finish line poses. Olympic legend Susie O'Neill, will also be returning for the 25th anniversary to be swim ambassador for the weekend after her popular appearance last year.
