Mackay Triathlon Festival

21/09/2026

Podium moments are the absolute best!
Our race wouldn’t be possible without each and every athlete that showed up, raced and stuck around for presentations.
Getting on the podium is a great achievement and we proudly love showing you off!
While we wait for more professional podium shots, here are some taken by club Treasurer Felicity.
