Triathlon is the dominant form of Multi-Sport and has come along way from it's birth in the 70's to now being an Olympic sport. This has seen the sport change somewhat, but still it remains a sporting challenge for everyone, whether it be a sprint distance or an ironman.

Choose from triathlon, duathlon and aquathon, these events are run under the Triathlon Australia (TA) banner- To join TA go to the memberships page for further explanations ($10 saving as a MA member). Membership runs from July 1st to June 30th so best to wait until June.
