Jackie Fairweather Memorial

ACT Sprint Championships

Sunday 14 February 2027

A premier event on the ACT Triathlon calendar, this race is more than competition it’s a tribute to Jackie Fairweather: world champion triathlete, duathlete, Commonwealth Games marathon medallist, and a leader in Australian high-performance sport. 

The race also doubles as the ACT Sprint Championships and a World Championships Qualification Event (WQE), giving top performers the chance to secure their place at the 2027 World Triathlon Championships in Hamburg, Germany.
