Duathlon - Saturday 21st September
The wait for the ITC race season to begin is nearly over. We'll be holding a duathlon on Saturday 21st of September at our usual venue (Port Kembla).

The format will be:
- Club distance duathlon: 2.2km run, 13.2km bike, 4.4km run
- Short club distance duathlon: 2.2km run, 8.8km bike, 2.2km run

Race Marshalling: What's involved?
Our club wouldn't run without the generous support of our members and volunteers. Marshalling a race is easy and all instructions are provided by our marshall coordinators on the day at the race venue. Marshall roles include monitoring the side road entries to the course to divert cars away from the course during races, monitoring the bike turns and transition entry and monitoring the run turns.
You'll also have the opportunity to cheer on your friends who are racing, get to meet other club members and even check out the competition for the club point score!
Remember, you have to marshall at least once during the season to qualify for the season point score.
Plus, you'll earn 10 points towards the club season point score for every additional race that you marshall.
If you're not planning to race this month, please volunteer! For more information please contact our Marshall Coordinator Des Comer.

Our first swim session will start on Wednesday 9th of October (4.30pm for juniors and 5.30pm for adults) at our usual venue of Belmore Basin. Note that our adult sessions will be longer (you can still join us at 6pm for a shorter swim if you prefer).
