BENDIGO TRIATHLON CLUB

Currently we have 5 races per year, usually with both adult and kids races.

However on Sunday February the 22nd we’re planning a kids only triathlon aimed to make everything more fun, focussed and courses dedicated to the kids for the morning.

Hopefully it should be a great morning out for everyone and we’d appreciate any promotion of the event we can.

We also have a normal club triathlon (with both adults and kids participating this Sunday).

More details can be found either on our website www.bendigotriathlonclub.com or on our Facebook page.
