Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club

The Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club is a vibrant sports club located in Albury, Australia. The club offers people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to engage in the exhilarating sport of triathlon for both fun and fitness. With a range of events and categories, the club caters to a diverse range of individuals, from beginners to elite athletes.

For those looking to kickstart their triathlon season, the club organises duathlon bike and run events. These events are ideal for building race practise and fitness after the winter break. The club strategically holds these events at the start of the season when local open water venues are still cold.

If swimming and running are your preferred disciplines, the club also organises aquathlon events. These swim and run events are shorter and can be easily squeezed into a busy weekday evening schedule. The events typically involve a pool swim and a flat footpath run.

Triathlon enthusiasts can look forward to swim, bike, and run events held at Allan Flat. The club offers course distances suitable for various skill levels, including Mini, Sprint, Enduro, and Olympic. Detailed course distances can be found on the club's website under the “Events” tab.

The Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club prides itself on its inclusivity. They have senior age group categories, ranging from Open to 60–69 years, as well as shorter course races for junior competitors. Additionally, the club hosts fun races for sub-juniors aged 5 years and above. They also welcome individuals who prefer to compete as part of a team in their team category.

The club boasts a diverse membership, comprising everyday people seeking to maintain fitness through triathlon, as well as elite athletes who compete both nationally and internationally.

An exciting highlight in the club's calendar is the Women's Only event. This special event encourages participation among women by featuring a modified course. Swimmers are allowed to use fins, and the bike leg is on a shorter course without any steep hills. The Women's Only event is also a charity event, raising funds for women's causes within the local community.

To join the Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club, individuals have the option to become members or participate as non-members. Non-members are required to pay an additional fee to cover club costs. Membership benefits include affiliated membership of Triathlon Victoria, discounted race entry fees at club events, discounted race entries to external races (such as the 2XU series in Melbourne or Challenge Races), access to club bikes for loan, and access to a club-affiliated coach.

For those looking to try a triathlon but unsure where to start, the club offers coaching services. Through the coaching tab on their website or by contacting them directly, individuals can access guidance and support to embark on their triathlon journey.

The Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club expresses gratitude to their sponsors for their generous support. They also acknowledge the funding contribution of the NSW Government in the development of their website.
