The five day Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport festival from 1-5 November features an ocean swim, a fun run, the Charity Golf Day and elite cycling and running events and culminates on Sunday 5 November with the Noosa Triathlon, the world’s largest standard distance triathlon.
Headlining the Noosa Triathlon are key athletes from Australia’s Commonwealth Games triathlon team for 2018, Ashleigh Gentle and Jake Birtwhistle, defending champion Dan Wilson, plus Commonwealth Games hopefuls Aaron Royle, Ryan Bailie, Gillian Backhouse and Luke Willian.
The long distance world is also well represented with Sarah Crowley fresh from her podium at the Ironman World Championships, Ironman Asia-Pacific Champion Josh Amberger, Ironman specialist Jake Montgomery making his long-awaited Noosa debut, Liz Blatchford in her first race back as a new mum and two time World Duathlon Champion Felicity Sheedy-Ryan mixing it up with a swim.
Defending champ Ashleigh Gentle is shooting for Noosa title number five and Dan Wilson is hoping to go back to back this year.
“Noosa has always been really important to me. It’s the one I look forward to the most,” she said.
