Nepean Triathlon
The Nepean Triathlon is scheduled for 22 November 2026 and is described as Australia’s oldest triathlon, first held in 1982. The event is based at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, which has hosted the race since 1999 and is located in Western Sydney.
Over recent years the event has been presented as part of the Redline Games Festival and expanded to include a broader set of race distances. The program attracts a mix of elite athletes, competitive age groupers, first-time triathletes and long‑time participants.
