Triathletes set to go

Rarotonga triathletes are back into the groove of weekly duathlon and triathlon races with two duathlon courses on offer for athletes today.

Today’s duathlon will meet at Nikao next to the Tennis Centre opposite the Social Centre.

Athletes can either tackle a shorter 2km run, 8km cycle and 1km run course or a longer one, which includes a 2km run, 16km cycle, finished off with a 2km run.

The duathlon will start at 5.15pm sharp.

This Saturday the triathlon will run from the tri site in Tikioki starting at 3pm.

Two course options are available for this weekend’s triathlon.

Those still finding their feet can opt for the short course of a 200m swim, 8km cycle and 2km run and those keen to push the boundaries can tackle the 400m swim, 16km cycle and 4km run course.

Everyone is welcome to take part as athletes or cheerleaders at the weekly duathlon and triathlon meets.
