Triathlon is on this Sunday!
The first triathlon in the Northside Runners Series presented by iCycle is on this Sunday 8th November at the Warringah Triathlon Club course at North head.
We will be running a long course and short course triathlon as well as a duathlon (for any non swimmers out there).
SHORT COURSE: 375m swim, 2.7km run, 15km ride, 3km run.
LONG COURSE: 750m swim, 2.7km run, 20km ride, 5km run.
DUATHLON: 2.7km run, 15km ride, 3km run (Duathlon starts at the beach approx 5mins after the swim start)
Check out the course route on the website under the club races tab.
Remember that you need to take your running shoes to the beach for the first run. Wetsuits can be put in the club trailer after the swim and will be transported back to transition.
Please remember that we DO NOT have right of way on the cycle course. Cars may be on the course and they are allowed to be there. Please show courtesy to any drivers on the course even if they don’t reciprocate.
Transition and registration, at the far end car park of North Head Scenic Road, opens at 5.45am, with the race starting at 6.30am sharp. It’s a 20min walk to the swim start so you need to leave transition at 6.10am to get to the start on time. If you can’t register prior to the race please register early on the day.
After your tough race, remember to stay for the POST RACE BREAKY sponsored by Organic Food Network and a tasty BARBEQUE sponsored by PT Precision Automotive as well as the presentation with lucky draw. Northside Runners is donating a $300 “Runner’s Pack” at every race this season for one lucky winner each race. The presentation and lucky draw will start at 8.30am sharp so be sure to hang around.
We will not be renewing membership on the day so please go to the website and renew on line prior to Sunday. For everyone who has renewed, but not collected your new cards, they will be available at the race on Sunday.
To speed up the registration process we are asking members to pre register where possible. Send an email to tim.scott@jackmorton.com.au with your name and the course you are doing (long or short or duathlon). On race morning go to the pre registered line to have your name crossed off and pay the entry fee. We'll also give you your race number at the same time. The entry fee is $25 for members and $40 for non members.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – if you can volunteer on the day for any job please drop Tim an email. We need marshalls and timekeepers in particular. If you’re a new member and not sure about racing come up and volunteer and meet your fellow members.
Hope to see you there.
