Newman Triathlon taking registrations for May 18
Athletes are currently in training for the most exciting sporting event on the outdoor calendar, The Newman Triathlon, this year scheduled for May 18.
The Shire hosts the Newman Triathlon annually with competitors joining the event from throughout the region as one of the most popular highlights on the social calendar.
The triathlon hosts a Full Course, Short Course and Junior Course for Swimming, Bike and Run, starting at the Newman Aquatic Centre and transitioning out to the road and pathways. The event is open to solo participants and teams in the two categories, junior and senior.
Shire President Anthony Middleton said the triathlon is a large event which provides an economic boost to the town, attracting participation from athletes in neighbouring towns which offers extra business to local cafes, hotels, shops and service providers.
“The event has been running since 2014,” he said.
“Every year we hope to inspire youth to get involved, encourage their fitness and resilience and build their self-confidence.
“There are so many benefits from boosting happiness through exercise, social interaction and a sense of achievement it is such a great event to be part of for all our members in the community.
“In regional areas Triathlons help to encourage healthy lifestyles, boost the economy of our town, and brings people together.
“Please join us for this exciting community sporting event.”
