COVID-19 Race Requirements
This season will be like no other, we have had to make some considerable changes to be able to continue to deliver races. It is vital that all of our members work with us to ensure that we can deliver a safe event.
We are duty bound to respect our fellow members, so if you are not feeling well please do not turn up to race or volunteer. We will have a COVID Marshall at each race to ensure that all members are doing the right thing.
All members are encouraged to download the COVIDSafe app and to complete COVID Infection Control Training.
All members must adhere to the NSW Governments health restrictions and maintain social distancing.

Public perception is just as important as social distancing. Please do not stand around talking in or around transition at any time. If you have time to kill before your wave start time here are a couple of ideas of what you can do. Go for a jog down the beach or go a swim to warm up. Go for a walk along north wall or even listen to some tunes in your car.
If these rules are not adhered to it will not only damage our clubs reputation within the community but also result in us being unable to hold races so please read them carefully.
If individual members are found to be breaching these rules they will be unable to continue racing this season.
As part of our COVID safe plan and measures set out by Triathlon Australia (see more on the TA Guidelines here) the following rules and changes will apply for the season 20/21:
