Welcome
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 Courses:
Mini (minimum 6yrs on race day): 50m swim; 1km ride; 200m run
Maxi Mini (minimum 6yrs on race day): 100m swim; 3km ride; 500m run
Super Mini (recommended 11 to 15years): 150m swim; 3.75km ride; 1km 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.
Mini races begin at 7.45am. Please click on the 'Kids' link at the top of this
page for more information.
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!
Triathlon Victoria Memberships
The Bendigo
Triathlon Club would like to advise all members that for the 2012/2013 Triathlon
Season, our Club races will not be sanctioned with Triathlon Victoria. The
primary reason being, the insurance costs through Triathlon Victoria & Triathlon
Australia have increased substantially, therefore we have sourced our insurance
through a private broker. Not sanctioning our races through Triathlon
Victoria/Triathlon Australia has allowed the Club to keep our Club Memberships
and Race Day Fees the same as last season. However, by sourcing our own
insurance, should you wish to become a Triathlon Victoria/Triathlon Australia
Member, you will need to pay the full membership fee of $200-00 (previously
$120.00). If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact either the
Club President (Nick Walsh on 0418 509 256) or the Club Secretary (Carol Sing on
0400 674 925).
