With more than 55 per cent of Australian adults considered overweight or obese, many make a promise to lose the beer gut or muffin top in the light of a new year.
It is the top resolution with money, quitting smoking and more family time, and Kingscliff have the head start everyone needs to keep on track with their very own triathlon.
Tweed Coast Holiday Parks have joined forces with QSMSports to maintain a prestigious sporting event in the small coastal town.
Known now as the Tweed Parks Kingscliff Triathlon the event has been given feedback as one of the best Triathlon courses in Australia.
The swim is safe, the ride fast and flat and the run just stunning, moreover the crew are so friendly and the value for money helps the hip pocket.
Having an event like the Tweed Parks Kingscliff Triathlon doesn’t just help give all those reason to exercise it also helps boost the local economy and awareness of these little coastal towns between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. Bill Tatchell, CEO from Destination Tweed said.
Michael Crawley from QSMSports explains “we try to make sure everyone feels like a star when competing in our events. All kids 7-12 years receive a medal and shirt for having a go. There is the Tempta Triathlon, which is a short distance to let people introduce themselves to the sport with categories from 13 years right up to over 65 years. In February we will also trial an Olympic Distance Triathlon, which in the past we have always done in the second half of the year.”
Entries are still flowing in, with already 11 men entered into the Open category for cash and traditionally the overall winner of the Nev Salmon Memorial Trophy. Should be a great line up with young guns such as Todd Spackman, Chris Halsall and Ricky Swindale.
Entries are still open and will be taken online until February 9. The big event takes place on February 19 with sister events such as a social ride and 5km fun run on the Saturday morning.
