About
Cloncurry Cycling and Triathlon Club (CATS) is a thriving sports club located in Cloncurry Shire, Australia. The club, which promotes health, fitness, strength, and friendship, offers a range of events, membership opportunities, and exciting activities for cycling and triathlon enthusiasts.
The club regularly organises various events, including the popular Cloncurry Heat Triathlon. The triathlon course consists of swim, cycle, and run routes, with different distances available for participants of all levels. The swim route takes place in the scenic Cloncurry Dam, offering a refreshing and enjoyable experience. The cycling route encompasses picturesque areas such as Dam Rd, Burke Development Rd, Flinders Hwy, Ramsay St, and Daintree St.
Lastly, the run route offers participants the chance to explore the beautiful surroundings on a scenic track.
CATS also hosts a Junior Triathlon, which is specifically designed for younger participants. This event provides a fun and supportive environment for children and teenagers who are interested in getting involved in the sport.
Membership in the Cloncurry Cycling and Triathlon Club offers numerous benefits. Members have the opportunity to participate in club events, access training resources and coaching, and network with fellow enthusiasts. Additionally, members receive exclusive benefits such as discounted entry fees and access to sponsor and supporter deals.
For those interested in participating in the Cloncurry Heat Triathlon or other events, registration is required. Pack collection can be done at the dinner held at the Gidgee Inn on the evening before the event or on the day itself. It is important for participants to collect their packs, as they contain their timing chip, necessary for recording their race time.
Parking for the triathlon is located at the PCYC Hall, as there is no parking available at the Chinamen Creek Dam, where the event takes place. Participants can opt to ride their bikes to the dam, with a group ride encouraged for those who are interested. Alternatively, arrangements for transport can be made if riders prefer not to cycle to the dam.
The Cloncurry Cycling and Triathlon Club also hosts other local events, such as the Rats Corporate Triathlon and the Curry-McKinlay Ride. These events provide additional opportunities for members and athletes to engage in their chosen sports and challenge themselves.
