About the race
Race 6 of the WSTC Triathlon Series takes place at the Altona Beach foreshore with the Western Suburbs Triathlon Club based in the same building as the Altona Surf Life Saving Club near the corner of the Esplanade and Pier Street. The triathlon follows the standard swim, bike, run order. Run courses use the Altona foreshore path and the bike leg traverses the full length of the Esplanade.
The event offers age based categories. Minimum ages are: Sprint for athletes 16 and over, Enticer for athletes 12 and over, and Dash for athletes 10 and over. For Dash athletes aged 10 and 11 the swim is 200 m.
Registration and race administration are handled in the club rooms. Pre-registered athletes collect bibs and timing chips there, and on the day entries are accepted with card or cash payment and a completed waiver. Race briefings are held before each event to explain the course, any condition driven changes, and safety information.
Club members are required to participate as a volunteer at least once during the season; a nominated substitute such as a friend or family member may fulfil this duty. Photographs from events are uploaded to the club gallery after the race, generally within 48 hours, and event results are published on the club site, commonly on the afternoon of the event.
