All Schools Series with Triathlon Victoria and XOSZIZE Tri Series                
               
For a great fitness challenge, a fun carnival atmosphere and a cheer squad on the side lines, get your school involved in the Triathlon Victoria All Schools Series.  The series is seen as a way of promoting triathlon in secondary schools.  Points are awarded to each participant from each school.  At the end of the season, Triathlon Victoria will present a Perpetual Shield to the winning girl’s, boy’s and co-ed school.

The XOSIZE Triathlon Series welcomes all school teams to attend any of our five races over the 12/13 summer season.  We have allocated a schools/clubs area at each event site where schools can set up their own 3x3m or 6x3m marquees to be used as a meeting point, bag storage and a place to get excited with your fellow students before the big race.
School marquee bookings info@starttofinish.com.au

Team entry form and if you wish to enter 10 or more people for an individual race please email info@starttofinish.com.au 
Series standings will appear on the junior page of the Triathlon Victoria website.

Junior Programs 

Over the last two years TriVic has partnered with a number of clubs and training groups to offer kids open days.

We would like to thank Nunawading Triathlon Club, Yarra Triathlon and ETPA for their work in helping bringing Triathlon to so many kids and juniors.

This year they have followed up those open days with the provision of a range of kids programs, from Nuna in the east to ETPA in the west.

Please find attached links and information for new term programs from each of these providers.

TriVic is proud to endorse these programs and would highly recommend them to any kids or juniors thinking of trying Triathlon.
