Triathlon South End of Season Celebration 2025/26

What a fantastic way to wrap up the 2025/26 season.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our End of Season Celebration at the Shipwrights Arms Hotel, and to all our members, families, supporters, sponsors, volunteers and committee members who helped make the season such a success.

Across the year we raced at multiple locations, hosted duathlons at the DEC, aquathlons at Bellerive and Kingston Beach, and three triathlons at Seven Mile, including our new long-course event. There were close races, big efforts, a few laughs, plenty of great moments, and a lot of people working behind the scenes to make it all happen.

Congratulations to all of our 2025/26 award winners.

The season is done. Many races, many locations, and we hosted 4 State series events with Duathlons at The DEC, Aquathlons at Bellerive and Kingston Beach, and 3 Triathlons at the Seven, including a new Long Course.
We have seen lots of racing, shoulder-to-shoulder tussles, some dramatic finishes, some great weather, some lousy weather, the odd missed turn, some fumbles in transition, and a few spills.
We have one thing left to do - CELEBRATE!
You are invited to cheer and clap as we award the Triathletes of the Year, the Age Category winners, the Back of the Pack Legends, the TriHards, and the Go-Getters, the Oldie and the Offspringers, the Milestoners, and say one long big 'thank you' to all those volunteers who have turned up and just done it in 2025/26.
