Garmin Noosa Triathlon Festival Events Now Open

The Garmin Noosa Triathlon team are inviting the local community to get involved in this year’s event with entries now open for the Noosa Triathlon Festival Events.

The Noosa Triathlon Festival Events provide a great opportunity for people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience to be a part of the iconic event.

Geoff Meyer, Managing Director of Oceania for The IRONMAN Group, organisers of the Noosa Triathlon, said that the Festival Events were a great way for people to be a part of the weekend.

“The Noosa Triathlon Festival Events offer a great mix of events which appeal to a wide range of people, as well as providing a great way for those new to the sport to get involved,” he said. “Our local community is incredibly important to the continued success of the Noosa Triathlon and we believe this year’s Festival Events provide a great way for everyone to be involved.

“It was great to be able to bring the Festival Events back last year and we look forward to having even more people take part in 2022,” he said.

The Noosa Triathlon Festival Events kick off on Wednesday 26 October with the Noosa Run Swim Run, starting and finishing on Main Beach.

Friday morning will also feature the 5km ASICS Noosa Breakfast Fun Run beginning at 7.30am, with the Fun Run raising funds for the McGrath Foundation. Friday’s activities round out with the 2XU Noosa 1000 Ocean Swim at 4.15pm.
