About the race
The Beginners Triathlon at Mirani Swim Centre offers entry-level triathlon races with pool swim, bike and run legs and race categories for children and older participants. The event uses a pool swim at Mirani Swim Centre, a flat bike course intended for confidence building, and a short loop run to the finish with course marshals and volunteers on some corners.
Race categories and distances:
- Mini Kids ages 5–6: 50m swim • 1 km bike • 500 m run
- Mini Kids ages 7–9: 100m swim • 2 km bike • 1 km run
- Mini Kids ages 10–11: 150m swim • 3 km bike • 1.5 km run
- Enticer (ages 12+): 200m swim • 10 km bike • 2 km run Solo or teams are permitted; teams may have each member complete one leg.
The club runs beginner-focused training and squad sessions, including Sunday club training at Eimeo Beach and an eight week training program before the race. The event is open to members and non-members and accepts individual and team entries. Practical race procedures are specified for transition use, timing chips, swim wave starts, helmet rules, and obeying road rules on the cycle course. Swim aids are permitted but users are placed after eligible finishers in results. Participants are advised about parking arrangements around the pool and the requirement to keep transition areas tidy and safe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
