We're proud to again be hosting the Port Stephens Trex Triathlon & Trail Run this weekend, 21 and 22 of September.
NSW State Championship contenders will tackle a challenging 1000m swim in Fingal Bay, followed by a 29km mountain biking segment through Tomaree National Park, and then finish off with an 8km trail run. The challenge is as much with mother nature as it is against other athletes!
