Register by 15 March
If you are thinking about competing at the Yungaburra Triathlon, this is the time to lock it in. With less than a month to go until registration closes and competitor numbers capped, get it done today to not miss out!

Enticer Distance Race Update
Due to safety issues with the original turn around point on the Enticer bike course, the distance has been shortened to 8km instead of 10km. The turn around point will now be on the Gillies Range Road at the Peeramon Road intersection. The good news is, it’s downhill from there.

Mates4Mates
Mates4Mates is the chosen charity partner for the 2020 Yungaburra Triathlon, with 10% of registration fees and 100% of the Mates4Mates Relay fees donated directly to this charity.

Racing the morning? How about entering the Mates4Mates Relay with your friends for a fun ending to the day. Dress up or just skip over the finish line together, it’s all bout having a good time!

Mates4Mates was established by RSL (Queensland Branch) and launched in 2013 to meet the growing need for a holistic support service for Australian Defence Force members who have physical or psychological injures as a result of their service. Mates4Mates receives no ongoing government funding and relies on the generosity of the community to ensure that all services can continue to be offered to Mates and their families.

Start Fundraising

Triathlon Australia – One Day Membership
If you are not a Triathlon Australia member you will have to add a One Day Membership to your registration to make sure you are covered by insurance while racing. This One Day Membership is to protect you on race day and is easily added to your registration. When selecting your preferred race, scroll down and also select the One Day Membership for your selected race distance. For Team registrations, everyone in the team needs to have their own One Day Membership. We will check if you are a Triathlon Australia Member or have added the One Day membership on Check-In, so avoid a stressful last-minute purchase and simply add this to your registration now.
