The Nepean Triathlon weekend of racing is being held on November 19 and 20.

The Nepean Triathlon held on the Sunday morning consists of a 1km swim in the Centre, followed by a traffic free 30km cycle, and then a 10km run inside the Olympic complex.

The race, one of the highlights of the triathlon season, is the longest running triathlon in Australia and all finishers will receive an Olympic style finishers medallion and a unique 3 coloured print long sleeved finisher’s shirt.

The race will again feature the guys vs the gals with the women starting ahead of the male wave by the difference between the leading male and female averaged over the past five years. This concept proved most exciting in 2004 with Nicholas Hornman passing Angie Sharp with only 300 metres to the finish. The start times will again be adjusted to take account of the 2004 race with the winner taking $1000 with the leading member of the opposite sex taking out $500.

The Nepean weekend also features The Nepean Enticer races on the Saturday afternoon which are short course triathlons for juniors and those who want to complete a short course triathlon.

Race 1 is for 7 to 9 year olds, Race 2 for for the 10 to 13 year olds and race 3 for the over 14 and including adult categories. These races traditionally attract capacity fields and utilize the complete Nepean race set up, computer chip timing etc. and also provides excellent prizes and lucky draws. Race 3 usually fills up before race day so enter early to make sure you do not miss out.
