The Races:
The Tri Shave Women's Triathlons are designed to safely promote sport and exercise for women of all ages, shapes and sizes with the emphasis on 'fun' and 'doing something for your self'.

There are four events (and please note a relay team format is also available in the sprint event):

• Try-a-Tri Distance - 150m Swim, 5km Cycle, 1.5km Run - beginners, athletes looking for some cross training, a fun triathlon for all ages!
• Enticer Distance - 250m Swim, 10km Cycle, 2.5km Run - beginners, athletes looking for some cross training, a fun triathlon for all ages and just a little longer for some added excersise!
• Midi Distance - 350m Swim, 15km Cycle, 3.5km Run - beginners, athletes looking for some cross training, a fun triathlon for all ages and longer for some added excersise!
• Sprint Distance - 500m Swim, 20km Cycle, 5km Run - the 'standard' short distance triathlon for everyone, beginners to experts - so come test yourself in a great day out!And there's also relay team entries allowed in this distance also...
  

In the Sprint event you may compete either as an individual or with a group of one or two friends as a relay team. The competitors complete the course in their own time, as there are generous time allowances in which to complete these events.

We hope to assist many of our interested women to try a tri in this exciting format. We'll have training programs & seminars provided by qualified, registered triathlon coaches….so… come race day, you will be relaxed, ready to have some fun and enjoy the wonderful camaraderie that this fantastic sport offers.

And wait, there's more!

We're planning a great day out, to be enjoyed by absolutely everyone. Bring the family, bring your friends - bring your own supporter's squad!  The more the merrier and we can even involve your family as volunteers on the day (and they'll also come home with a t-shirt too!)

We're working with some great coaches, elite athletes and others to bring in some experts on swimming, cycling and running - who were also beginners once - so they know the tips you'll be looking for... and the sprint race will give our more experienced women a chance to go hard also...

Following the 'exercise' of competiting come join us and a panel of experts and feel free to ask them ANY questions about the sport of triathlon as they hold a sensational clinic to equip you with some valuable information for the future on how to train, how to go further, but mind out you could find yourself hooked on triathlon!

The Tri Shave Women's Triathlon WILL have childcare available for all of the competitors with children. In order to provide a safe, happy environment for your child, a parent information sheet and a medical form will be able to be downloaded from this siute to allow you to complete once you enter. Childcare is provided by experienced childcare workers as per the guidelines of NSW Department of Sport and Recreation Childcare Guidelines.

Come along and try a tri!
