About Us

Bendigo Triathlon Club is a local sporting club offering encouragement, competition, and practical help for people looking to increase their fitness and participate in triathlons.

We believe triathlon is achievable for most people and are excited about the future of our sport.

Bendigo Triathlon Club has been active since 1988; it now has over 250 active members. From businessmen, kids, mums, students and retirees, to elite athletes competing at National and International level.

During Summer and Winter the Bendigo Triathlon Club has its own race series which is an excellent place to start your triathlon career in a local friendly atmosphere.

We aim to keep race fees low, to make the sport as affordable as possible. If you wish to start training many members organise their own group swim, ride, and running sessions.

Club members regularly travel and compete across the state, interstate, and even internationally from Bendigo to Busselton, Noosa to Port Macquarie, New Zealand to Hawaii.

For further information please contact Nick Walsh on 0418 509 256 or email us at contact@bendigotriathlon.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Our Race Formats

The Bendigo Triathlon Club hold a Summer and Winter Series each year. The Summer Series is our main series and runs from September/October - March. It consists of one race per month.

The Winter Series can be a mix of duathlons, off-road races and triathlons and races are not necessarily held every month.

Courses

Long Course: 400m Swim; 15km Ride; 4km Run

Short Course: 200m Swim; 7.5km Ride; 2km Run

Mini Course:
(Over 7years): 100m Swim; 3km Ride; 500m Run
(7years & under): 50m Swim; 1km Ride; 100m Run
Mini races are held on the same day as the Long and Short Course. The race is well supervised, and lots of support and encouragement is given to our juniors.

Teams:
Teams may also enter any of the races mentioned above. You may race in teams of two or three people - one person doing the swim leg, one the bike leg and one the run leg, or a combination of disciplines, for example team member one does the swim and the run leg, while team member two does the ride. Membership and Race Entry Fees will apply to EACH team member.

Other Points of Interest

We advise all new members to read the Beginners Tips and Basic Rules flyer which can be found under General Info > Useful Downloads. A Course Map can also be found here. Please note: some tips may not apply to duathlons; and off-road duathlons may be held at a different location to the Course Map.

You don't need fancy equipment, there are no time limits, you can swim freestyle and swap to backstroke if you feel tired or slow to a walk instead of a run. The only person you have to race against is yourself! Triathlon is a fantastic sport for any age, which makes our club a very family friendly environment. Lots of encouragement is given to all competitors. So why not give yourself a new challenge!
