Noosa Tri events attract thousands

The action-packed Noosa Run Swim Run held last Wednesday kicked off the five-day Noosa Triathlon event.

All ages take part in this fantastic race, which also plays host to some of the states best school kids, battling it out in the hopes of becoming the Noosa Run Swim Run Schools Aquathlon Challenge Champion.

The Men’s race was taken out by Mason Kopff in 22:38, with Mia Caple winning the women’s in 25:10.

Oscar Kisby was the fastest junior boy in 7:02, with Sella Howard the fastest girl.

On Friday almost 2,000 runners created a sea of pink across Noosa Main Beach and the boardwalk for the ASICS Breakfast Fun Run.

Covering a 5km course before finishing on Noosa Main Beach the annual event raises funds for the McGrath Foundation as participants walk, run or dance their way along it.

Friday afternoon’s wet weather did nothing to deter hundreds of swimmers across age groups from U13s to over 70s who took part in the 2XU Noosa 1000 Ocean Swim.

The 2XU Noosa 1000 Ocean Swim has created its own place in history over the past 25 years.

As one of Australia’s premier ocean swims, it is on the bucket-list for elites and age-groupers alike.

Olympian Nick Sloman won the men’s race in 9:21, with Chelsea Douyere the women’s champion in 10:51.
