One of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular events has two reasons to celebrate this year, with the Mooloolaba Triathlon marking its 30th anniversary, and the 2022 event now a sell out.
The Mooloolaba Triathlon welcomes thousands of participants to the region each year, with the 30th anniversary event to take place between March 11 to 13 2022.
More than 4,000 athletes are headed to Mooloolaba for two days of racing in March, with first time triathletes, veterans of the sport and rising stars mixing together on course.
Geoff Meyer, The IRONMAN Group Oceania Managing Director, thanked the community for their support of the 30th anniversary of the Mooloolaba Triathlon.
“We’re thrilled to announce that the 2022 Mooloolaba Triathlon has sold out, with more than 4,000 athletes set to join us for two days of racing next month,” Meyer said.
“This is an event that appeals to so many, from those just starting out in their triathlon journey to veterans of the sport, and we look forward to having them all swimming, riding and running their way through Mooloolaba and its surrounds.
“The Mooloolaba Triathlon has grown over the years to become one of the highlights of the Sunshine Coast events calendar,” he said.
“From its first running back in 1993 with 255 individual competitors and 74 teams, to this year where we will welcome more than 4,000 athletes and over 600 volunteers, the Mooloolaba Triathlon is an event not to miss.”
Saturday will see the Sprint Triathlon take place, which offers a great opportunity for a mix of people to take part, whether they’re a beginner keen for their first triathlon, or an experienced athlete who wants to race against the clock. The Sprint Triathlon consists of a 750m swim, 20km ride and 5km run, finishing on the Mooloolaba Esplanade.
The Standard Triathlon will take place on Sunday 13 March, with triathletes taking on a 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run. Sunday’s event also includes a relay option for those entering as a team.
