Sunday, 13 November 2022 more than 70 local kids from Mackay and beyond descended on the Mackay Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC) for the first event of the 2022 Tri-ActiV8 Kids Triathlon Tri-Series.

The Tri-ActiV8 Triathlon Tri-Series is back in 2022. The first of the 3-part series kicks off on Sunday 13 November at the MARC. It’s all about participation and having fun! Our triathlons are specifically designed for kids aged 5-12 years, and focus on finish lines over finish times.

Our Tri-ActiV8 triathletes excel at the 2022 Hervey Bay 100 long course triathlon: 8 athletes, 5 podium finishes.

Our Tri-ActiV8 Kids Tri-Series is a non-competitive event that will have your kids in the pool, on their bike and on the running track. Read this blog to find out how you can help support your child.

This is one for the Tri-ActiV8 history books. On 23 and24 April, Airlie Beach hosted the Scody Australia North Queensland Club Championships with $5000 up for grabs for the top clubs. Triathlon Queensland President Cara Turnley presented 1st Place to our very own Tri-ActiV8, 2nd place to Townsville Triathlon Club and 3rd place to Mackay Triathlon Club.

Well renowned for it’s hellish course, our athletes were rewarded with epic race conditions, a pristine township and an adventure to remember! Previously scheduled for February 2022, Covid pushed the start back to April providing us (Coach raced and is writing) with the most amazing race conditions of a 14 degree start (max of 26 degrees), 4 knots of wind and nice water temps.

Bikes were racked, bodies carb loaded, and everyone went to bed with the sound of rain and thunder but this was not enough to stop our formidable Tri-ActiV8 Tribe. Sporting our new Tri-ActiV8 Budgy Smuggler range our Tribe were the envy of everyone!

What began as just an idea to try a trail out west became an incredible adventure in just less than 12 months later with 21 trekkers from Mackay, Brisbane and Townsville taking on the 200km Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail across 5 amazing days.
