About The Starting Line
Triathlon isn’t limited to elite athletes or marathon runners, it’s for everyone who wants to challenge themselves and have fun doing it. The Starting Line is AusTriathlon’s initiative to make swim, bike, run accessible to all Australians.
Whether you’re looking to get active, meet new people, or challenge yourself, there’s a place for you in triathlon. Start your journey at your own pace, with support every step of the way.
The Starting Line is for adult participants. If you’re looking for our primary aged children’s program, check out Aus3 here!

Success Stories
Peter Shortman
“From cheering on my daughter to representing Australia at 71, triathlon transformed my life — proving it’s never too late to chase the green and gold, with a community that lifts you every step of the way.”
Emily Harrison
“What started as a lockdown workaround became a life-changing journey — completing a 70.3 and gaining a diverse, supportive community of friends who cheer each other on, no matter the pace or place.”
Justin Bersey
“Quitting smoking led me to triathlon, and now I’ve gone from low fitness to completing everything from entry-level races to full Ironman events — surrounded by great friends who make the journey less lonely and far more rewarding.”
Lexa Graham
“Inspired by a friend’s bold New Year swim, I dove into triathlon and never looked back — winning ACT Novice of the Year and discovering a community that cheers you on, even when the real race is just with yourself.”
