Are you keen for some Duathlon training this Sunday 2/8/2026? Let’s get excited.

Open to all - OTC members and newcomers alike. A great chance to test out your run and bike transitions and get a head start on the 2026/27 Tri Season.

Where: Gosling Creek Reserve - meet in the middle near the toilet block. All participants will be required to sign the participants checkin and non members will also need to sign a waiver.

What time: setup 9am - anyone who is keen to help us with setup and ensure a safe training session please come out to the shed at 9am.

Training event: starts at 10am so be ready to go, with your bike racked.

What you need: bike (any kind providing it’s in good condition and has working brakes), you also need a helmet, running shoes and layers of clothing (you need enough to keep warm but be able to take off layers as you warm up).

What’s the distance: for this event we will be trialling the crit track for both the run and ride.
The distances can be adapted based on your fitness and ability.

Short course - 1.1km run (1 lap), 3.3km Ride (3 laps) and 1.1km run (1 lap). For those who want a slightly longer course you can add another 3.3km Ride and 1.1km run. For those who want to test their endurance you can add another 3.3km Ride and 1.1km run. Decide on the day how you feel.
For younger participants we can adapt the course as needed.

See you out at Gosling on Sunday.

Here’s your chance to have your say, by 24th July 2026, on the Orange City’s Active Transport, Open Space and Recreation plan. Check it out and provide your input.

We’ve put together two plans that look at how people move around Orange and how we use our parks, playgrounds and recreation spaces. 🚶‍➡️🚲

𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲
This strategy looks at how walking, riding and other active ways of getting around can be made safer and easier in our city.

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 & 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧
This strategy looks at how we can look after our parks, playgrounds, sporting and recreation spaces, improve them and plan for what our growing community will need in the future.

Before anything is final, we want to make sure they reflect what matters to you and the way you experience our city every day. Many of you have already shared your thoughts with us, and this is a chance to check that we’ve captured them in the right way.

Have your say on the YourSay site before Friday 24 July at https://yoursay.orange.nsw.gov.au/orange-active-transport-and-open-space-and-recreation-strategies.
