Registrations are now open for the 4th annual running of our special event held in Rockhampton for Women, Juniors & All-Abilities (people with a disability) – to be held on Sunday 27 March 2022.
This year we have welcomed The Capricornian on a 3 year sponsorship deal & have a very special logo for the event.
All of the details can be found under the Events tab at the top of the website
It was a great morning – new participants, young participants, old and even older participants all putting in and hopefully getting something in return.
Super effort boys and girls, entertaining and inspiring.
Thanks again to Brett, Emu Park SLS, the CWA and our course volunteers.
Thanks also to Bikes on High and Giant Rockhampton for their contributions to the random draw – a very nice way to wrap up our morning.
That’s the end of Emu Park for this season, but please check out “The GKI” that is happening on the 15th and 16th of June. And of course, there is the Yeppoon Triathlon Festival in late July – so keep up the training and keep in touch with what’s happening at Frogs. Don’t forget that Try2 do something most Sundays, so if you need some company and some peculiar training options check out the Try2 Facebook page.
What a turn out to the inaugural Women’s Only Triathlon! 120 participants splashed, spun and strolled around the course – enjoying a fun and safe event as a Come and Tri event.
I thoroughly enjoyed the event – I felt so much more comfortable in the pool that the open ocean! I think I might be ready to come and give an open water Tri a go now after today’s event.
Enticer Participant
58 participants in the Enticer Triathlon, 33 participants in the Sprint Triathlon, 2 participants in the Sprint Duathlon, 6 Teams in the Teams Enticer Triathlon and 5 Teams in the Teams Sprint Triathlon.
A massive thank you to all the event sponsors and supporters as well as all the volunteers on the day!
101 Juniors turned up at the South Rockhampton Pool to participate in the Triathlon. Swimming in the Pool, then riding around Sir Raymond Huish Drive and the Showgrounds and then a run along the river.
Juniors received a Fitzroy Frogs Water Bottle and Finishers Certificate.
It is always a treat to see people crossing the line with that glint of achievement in their eyes; and some of you with enough left in the tank for a huge smile.
Especially satisfying at this event was the number of first-timers. And a great turn out of a club regulars. 69 individuals and 5 teams participating on the day. Tannum is a gem of a venue, but the participants make the event.
A great turn out to the first Emu Park event for 2019! Lots of new faces and friends from across the region joined the Frogs on a bit of a warm summers morning.
87 participants competed in Aquathon, Duathlon and Triathlon in the Enticer and Sprint distances.
Special thanks to all the volunteers that helped set up and run the events.
What a stunning morning at Emu Park and what a way to kick of a day of celebrating being Australian!
14 swimmers jumped in the water for the 3km, 30 swimmers in the 2km, and 35 swimmers in the 1km. A great turn out with people, not just locals, but some traveling from Gladstone, Mackay and Biloela.
A special thank you to Emu Park Surf Life Saving Club for the water safety and everyone who paddled on the day.
77 athletes turned up at the Tannum Sand Tri. Testing conditions with a sweeping current making for challenging conditions for some swimmers. Those who were caught in the sweep had to fight hard compared to our strong swimmers – this made for an early open field.
