Dubbo Triathlon Club

The club first started in 1990 and consisted of competitor's from Wellington and Dubbo. Meetings use to be held in the Geurie pub. The original members in the late 80's, use to run races at Burrendong Dam and in Dubbo. These races were usually only one event per year with as many as 500 competitors with numerous elite athletes participating. The club evolved into the Dubbo Triathlon Club, which today consists of about 70 active senior members and as many junior members who regularly compete in array of events for all levels of athletes. Club races are now held regularly through out the season (late Spring to early Autumn) in the Macquarie River. Dubbo Triathlon Club normally conducts up to 8 senior race days and 3 junior race days each year, these consist of various lengths and age categories. The club also participates in the Central West Interclub Challenge Shield where they battle it out with various other clubs in races conducted in Orange, Mudgee, Cowra, Bathurst and Dubbo. Over the past three seasons Dubbo Triathlon Club has held 3 very successful junior races at the Dubbo Aquatic Centre where juniors participated in the series of races. We are committed to maintaining and where possible expanding the junior involvement in our club. The most exciting and satisfying outcome of the junior races, apart from the happy proud faces of the kids, is the playful pressure the kids put on mum and dad to do the adult races!!!
