Being a Triathlon Australia/NSW member comes with a whole range of perks, and we're here to give you our Top 5!

1. Save on One Day Licenses

Did you know that as an annual member (Standard or Premium), you ‘ll save up to $55 per season by not having to purchase those pesky One Day License fees? 

Our data shows that the average person races at three commercial events each season.

Why pay them when you get join as an annual member of TA?

2. Peace of mind that comes with coverage under Triathlon Australia’s insurance scheme

It’s often spoken about in cafes over hot drinks during training sessions. The value of taking out a Triathlon Australia membership vs not being a member. But the vast majority of triathletes will think nothing of spending a few hundred dollars on an excellent helmet, to keep their head safe whilst training and racing on their bikes. And of course, this is not a bad thing! But whilst your helmet protects your head, your Triathlon Australia membership and insurance coverage actually protects your entire body, in case of an accident.  

Public liability and personal accident insurance cover while you are racing in sanctioned events and training for sanctioned events for the duration of your membership.

3. CLUBS

Clubs remain the heartbeat of the sport, the centre of everything we do as an organisation and for most of our wonderful members, the main reason to renew your membership.

Clubs run local and cost-effective races, trainings sessions, social events and are a great way to train with likeminded individuals who love everything about running, cycling and swimming! Triathlon NSW Clubs pride themselves on creating safe, fair, and all-inclusive environments which are ideal for newbies right through to the most experience athlete. With 58 affiliated clubs across NSW, each offering a variety of coached sessions and social events.

Across NSW, Club events have returned in all their glory. Delivered by volunteers, they are a superb opportunity to get active and race alongside your fellow club mates.

5. Represent - Club, State & Country!

Five years in and the Forager Interclub Leagues go from strength to strength. Interclub (friendly!) rivalry has re-engaged clubs who lost their mojo, it’s created a sense of purpose behind members heading to races and in general, it’s just been good fun with some spice sprinkled on top.

Clubs will battle across 7 Leagues, divided into geographic regions. It will also include the individual MVP – Most Valuable Performer - awards again, which is set to grow in prestige and popularity over time.  

To earn participation and performance points, you must be an annual member!

Triathlon NSW will once again be conducting a series of Individual NSW State Championships events, which is the ideal place to etch your name in eternal glory as the NSW Individual Champion across a set distance. The first NSW member across the line in each age group is the winner.

The first event is the Goulburn Duathlon: Goulburn Duathlon | Elite Energy
