ELITE Energy are bringing a triathlon to Hawks Nest on Saturday 19 March.

Supported by a wealth of partners, Elite Energy have teamed up with MidCoast Council, Destination Barrington Coast, Powerade and Tea Gardens Hotel, amongst others, to host four different triathlons.

These include Tri-A-Tri (free for first timers with a 200m swim, 10km bike and 2km run), Super Sprint (200m swim, 10km bike, 2km run), Sprint (750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run) and Standard (1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run).

Kicking off at 8:00am for registration and a health and lifestyle expo at Providence Bay Park, the triathlons will begin at 10:00am, 11:00am and 11:30am from Bennetts Beach.

Seb Gallery from Elite Energy told News Of The Area that the team are excited to be bringing the Triathlon event back to Hawks Nest, following 2016’s successful event.

“The entire Elite Energy team is really excited to head back to Hawks Nest, there was no shortage of hands raised when we asked who wanted to work this event.

“The combination of a stunning location and a great local community make this event a staff favourite.”

In 2016, Elite Energy hosted the event in Hawks Nest with 400 participants, however, this years’ event has already exceeded expectations for the company with an estimated 850 expected to participate and an additional 1500 spectators.

“We are looking forward to what was going to be a great little event now being a great big event,” Seb said.
