Due to lack of daylight we need to be under starters orders by no later than 6.10pm, so be ready by 6.00pm for the race briefing.
The Club puts the Aquathlon Series together each year to provide members with Club racing during the summer. The series philosophy is based around bringing members together frequently, to enhance the club spirit and to provide a social and competitive environment where individuals can have a hit out and then relax with other club members after-wards. It is also an excellent vehicle to expose and promote club sponsors
The Race basic format includes an ocean swim (app. 400mt) with either a beach run or a run loop over the grassed area towards Hillarys Marina.
Always a keenly contested event, with up to 50 competitors on some occasions lining up under starters orders. This event is run under a handicap system, which gives all ages, genders & abilities an equal chance of winning on any given night. The first 3 runners across the line are given a mention, but handicap results only, count towards series positions. The series result is not known until after the final race, when competitor‘s best 9 handicap results are tallied. Traditionally the winner is not announced until the Club presentation dinner/breakfast/lunch.
The event sponsor for this season in Al‘s Cycle Surgery of Heathridge, who supplies a great range of spot prizes for the competitors. These are given out at the after race sausage sizzle.
