Our Club History
Bendigo Triathlon Club is a local sporting club offering encouragement, competition, and practical help for people looking to increase their fitness and participate in triathlons.
We believe triathlon is achievable for most people and are excited about the future of our sport.
Bendigo Triathlon Club has been active since 1988; it now has over 250 active members. From businesspeople, kids, mums & dads, students and retirees, to elite athletes competing at National and International level.
During Summer and Winter the Bendigo Triathlon Club has its own race series which is an excellent place to start your triathlon career in a local friendly atmosphere.
We aim to keep race fees low, to make the sport as affordable as possible. If you wish to start training many members organise their own group swim, ride, and running sessions.
Club members regularly travel and compete across the state, interstate, and even internationally from Bendigo to Busselton, Noosa to Port Macquarie, New Zealand to Hawaii.

An Ironman event consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride, and a 42.2km (marathon) run.
The Ironman World Championship is held annually in Kona, Hawaii. At each Ironman race, a small number of World Championship entries are available in each age group, and these are offered to the top finishers in each age group in order until they are taken.
