Whyalla Triathlon
The Challenge Is On AgainThe sport of triathlon is a unique physical challenge that combines three different diciplines, swimming, cycling and running into one event. The next annual Whyalla Triathlon is to be held on Sunday 25 February 2024.
Anyone can have a go with 4 different length events being offered. In previous events we have had competitors aged from anywhere between 3 and 70. Race day entries will be available again however, for a discounted rate, you can enter early online until 10pm Thursday 22 February. This year we'll be the eleventh year in a row of us organising the Whyalla Triathlon. We didn't think we would go past 10 so make the most of it and we'll see you here! |
About UsIn response to community interest in a local multisport triathlon a committed bunch of locals worked together to ensure an event was available for the community of Whyalla and beyond.
A key aspect of the events intent was to ensure it was to encourage more people to get out and be active. It was also to give some of the local athletes a chance to test themselves in a multi-dicipline format. |
Who We Are |
Whyalla locals trying to make a difference to the physical and mental well being of the local community by offering an efficient, fun and challenging event for all ages and abilities.

Our History |
Historically there were a few triathlons held in Whyalla but after a number of years with none and increased interest the event was reinstated back in 2014. The 2014 event offered the Sprint distance and Little Kids events. The following year an additional Big Kids event was included to challenge some of the older children resulting in even more participants. The 2016 event was even bigger with the inclusion of the Enticer distance, course tweaks and professional electronic timing. Every event since has included the 4 different length events and maintained relatively the same course despite some minor changes to the run course over the years.
