Sonya Brazil

This event was Sonya’s first Triathlon. An avid swimmer and runner, she decided to give Triathlon a go, and after falling in love with the sport, she went on to compete in other Mackay events. Sonya’s whole family makes the trip from all over QLD to remember Sonya and this race has been a memorial to her since 2000 after Sonya died unexpectedly in 1999 whilst on her quest to become fit and active.

Enticer – 200m/8km/2km

There’s a common misconception that triathlon is a sport for elite athletes. But just as there are elite tennis players and regular neighborhood tennis players, so too there are elite triathletes and everyday social participants. Whichever category you are in – or aspire to be in – triathlon participation offers a range of benefits

You may be an existing athlete, or merely an aspiring one. Perhaps you’re a strong swimmer or cyclist looking to diversify? Or maybe you’re someone who just wants to get more active whilst spending time in the great outdoors?

Regardless of your level of fitness and where you’re starting from, you’ll find triathlon to be incredibly rewarding – and you’ll be surrounded by a community of people who will welcome, inspire, and motivate you.

One of our key goals at this event is to create welcoming entry points for people of all ages and abilities, so they can enjoy lifelong participation in our amazing sport.

So come on , give it a Tri!!
