Port Macquarie Triathlon Club is inviting all women (members and non-members) to join in the Women’s Only Race on Sunday, November 4 at McInherney Park.
The event is a fundraiser to support people who have breast cancer and their families.
People can choose to participate in the short course or social grade.
The short course consists of a 300 metre swim, nine kilometre bike ride and three kilometre run.
In 2018 the Port Macquarie Triathlon Club also introduced a social grade.
The social grade is for anyone who is not particularly interested in competition points and just wants to enjoy the endorphins of being on course for a triathlon.
In the social grade people can tailor the race to suit their own ability. They are welcome to use flippers in the swim, use a bike of their choice and might choose to skip the run altogether.
The club’s vice president Jo Pilgrim said it doesn’t matter if women have never done a triathlon in their life before.
“We offer a very supportive environment and women of all ages and experience are most welcome to attend,” she said.
“People can compete in a team or individually.”
Race sign on is from 6am. The race briefing is from 6.45am.
Entry to the event is free. Baked goods will be available for a gold coin donation and all proceeds will go to the cause.
There will be prizes and giveaways from Priceline Port Macquarie and Lorna Jane Port Macquarie.
For more information people can visit the Port Macquarie Triathlon Club’s Facebook Page.
