The Penrith Valley Nepean Triathlon weekend of racing will take place on November 12-13 at the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith. Now in its 30th year and with 1100 competitors taking part last year, it is one of the largest triathlons in Australia.
The main race, the Penrith Valley Nepean Triathlon will be held on Sunday and involves a one kilometre swim, 30km cycle and 10km run.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the event, the race committee has allocated prize money to winners in various categories competing in the Penrith Valley Nepean Triathlon.
All finishers will receive a unique 30th Anniversary Olympic style finishers’ medallion and a Cooldry material race finisher’s t-shirt. The race will again feature a guys vs girls format with the women starting ahead of the male wave by the difference between the leading male and female averaged over the previous five years.
There are also three other races which cover various age groups in the Penrith Anglican College Nepean Enticer Triathlons, so there is race for every age group.
Entries for this year’s races have almost reached capacity but there is still time to register.
A host of local sponsors have combined to ensure the Penrith Valley Nepean Triathlon weekend remains one of Australia’s classic triathlons with Penrith City Council one of the strong supporters of the races.
