M3 Monikie TriStars Triathlon

From the organisers of the Monikie Sprint Triathlon - 2015 Most Enjoyable Event and the 2016 Event of the Year - Monifieth Triathlon Club are delighted to announce that the Tristars Triathlon at Monikie Park Angus will return with the addition of a Youth category in 2019. And, just to add even more excitement, our Tristars and Youth race will be an IRC Qualifying Event!

Tristars

Our Tristars events, aimed at children aged 9-14 will take place in and around Monikie Park in a safe and fun environment on closed roads.

Tristars 1 - Ages 9-10
Tristars 2 - Ages 11-12
Tristars 3 - Ages 13-14
Youth - Ages 15-16

SWIM : The swim will take place from the beach in the north pond, following a safe sheltered course before returning to the beach and into T1 located nearby. There will be ample boats, kayaks and lifeguards supporting the swim to ensure that all our athletes are cared for and supported throughout the swim leg. This is an ideal opportunity for our younger athletes to compete in a safe open water swim event!

Bike : The bike starts off at the transition area close to swim exit before exiting the south gate, looping around the outer perimeter of the park in a counter clockwise direction before reentering the park via the north gate. The public roads around the park are closed to all traffic for the duration of the Tristars and Youth events therefore you can be assured that all athletes are safe during the bike leg. Depending on the Tristars level (1,2 or 3) or Youth the athletes will complete 1, 2 or 3 loops of the course giving spectators plenty opportunity to see the race as it unfolds.

Run : The last leg of the event takes place on the paths between the north and south ponds with the athletes running a short out and back loop before crossing the finish line

This event will open for race entry on January 1st 2019.
