Gear Up To Witness Byron Bay Triathlon 2012!!!

“You couldn’t have asked for better situations for the Byron Bay Triathlon 2011. Shining sun in light winds with little bit of swell! Congratulations to Jacque Hogan, the Event Organizer and Mick Smith, Director of the race for organizing a splendid race in 2011, with a perfect line up and a fast competition”- are the words of Joey Lampe, the winner of Byron Bay Triathlon 2011.

The Byron Bay Triathlon is traditionally the last race of the QLD/NSW triathlon calendar in Australia. This triathlon now has become the perfect tune up race before the Challenge Cairns triathlon.

Byron Bay triathlon organisers go to great lengths to ensure the tradition of the event, which is one of the only Olympic distance events in Australia. The Triathlon is steeped in the history and continues to grow in its name and status with each year. Trialthlon competitors often refer to this event as one of the best events and experiences on the trialthon clander.

Jacqueline Hogan is the new organizer of this event who has been in charge for a few years. Since Jacqueline took the charge the trialthon race it continues to go from strength to strength witnessing particpant increases and overal satisfaction of the organisation of the event. However, this years Byron Bay triathlon will see some changes as follows;

The Bike Race

This year the bike race has reduced to 36 kilometres due to unsafe roads on account of the recent harsh weather along Australia East Coast.

The swim Race

The swim section of the event will be undertaken in a U shaped course. This should make it as gruelling as previous years, but more organized and better for triathlon spectators.

The Expo

The expo, which was set up in an old transition area, also doubles as great viewing platform for hundreds of passionate spectators.

This year Byron Bay Triathlon & Multisport Festival is scheduled on Saturday, 12^th May and Sunday, 13^th May.
