The Port Macquarie Triathlon Club would like to extend its thanks to the many tireless workers involved with the event, particularly the local volunteer groups including Camden Haven Marine Rescue, North Haven SLSC, Port Macquarie Army Cadets, Laurieton Rotary and Lions Clubs, the Girl Guides, LUSC Fishing Club and the Camden Haven SES. Without their help this event could never have run as smoothly as it did.
