The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here!
Tomorrow, the Coral Sea Marina Resort Airlie Beach Triathlon Festival kicks off, and the energy is already electric. The iconic shoreline of Airlie Beach is buzzing with athletes, supporters, and organisers, all preparing for a weekend that promises to be a true highlight on the triathlon calendar.
This festival is a celebration of our stunning region, a testament to athletic dedication, and a showcase of community spirit.
Michael Kimpton, Festival Event Director, is thrilled that the start line on Sunday will be stacked with incredible talent.
“This event attracts a high-calibre elite field, offering a unique opportunity for local and visiting athletes to race alongside some of the country’s best. This year we have 18 professional athletes including members of the Australian 2024 Olympics team," Mr Kimpton said.
“Their presence provides a source of inspiration for every participant, from first-time racers in the Enticer distance to the seasoned veterans tackling the Olympic course."
An event of this scale simply wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of dedicated partners.
The Airlie Beach Triathlon Festival express a huge thank you to the event’s naming rights sponsor, Coral Sea Marina Resort, for their unwavering commitment to the festival. Their support helps the event team to deliver a world-class experience that showcases the natural beauty of the Whitsundays. The events committee also extends their gratitude to valued partners like AustBanners and the many businesses in the Whitsundays who have provided essential products, services or funds that ensure the event looks professional and runs smoothly for all involved.
Mr Kimpton said that while the elite showdown will be thrilling, the true heart of the festival is the friendly competition and camaraderie found in the team and kids events.
“We are excited to see the rivalry between our local businesses in the Corporate Challenge and to witness friends and family members collaborating in the team relays," added Mr Kimpton.
“We’re looking forward to cheering on the next generation of triathletes as they take on the Junior Triathlon, where they can build confidence and discover the joy of multi-sport competition in a fun and supportive environment.”
The Coral Sea Marina Resort Airlie Beach Triathlon will take place over Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August.
