 Triathlon Meets Adventure!ABOUT THE TRE-X OFF ROAD TRIATHLON SERIES  The Tre-X Off Road Triathlon Series is designed for first timers and experienced triathletes to get off the beaten track and come along and try this new event format.Like other triathlons the Tre-X Series includes the disciplines of swim, bike and run, but with a new twist the Tre-X Series is run off road to add a new element of adventure to this tried and true format. The swim leg takes place in dams, rivers or lagoons. The bike leg adds a new element of mountain biking on dirt tracks, fire trails and single track terrain, and the run leg takes competitors off the tarmac and into some of Australia’s most beautiful natural bushland. Enter as an individual or enter as a team of three. It’s an enjoyable event for those who fancy a bit of adventure to come along and have a go in a spirit of competition and fun! THE COURSEIn 2007 competitors will complete: - 350m Swim - 10km Mountain Bike (expected to take 40-50 mins for the average rider) - 4km Trail Run The Swim The Swim will be a wet start on the banks of Murrenbong dam with competitors completing a 350m swim before exiting into a grassy transition area beside the dam. The Mountain Bike  The mountain bike leg covers fire trails, tracks and single track, with a small section (approximately 900m) of technical single track to challenge the technical rider. It is expected that an average rider will take approximately 40-45minutes to complete the 10km course. If you are new to mountain biking and aren’t comfortable with single track riding, that’s OK, you can always walk the small technical section, and then carry on with the rest of the course. The cycle course is spectator friendly with competitors passing through Race HQ several times throughout the event. The Run After taking on the mountain bike challenge the run sees competitors traversing a 4km loop along creeks, tracks and finishing with a small cross country section behind the dam and up a small hill to Race HQ to cross the finish line where the spectators will be there to cheer you to victory. THE LOCATIONThe 2007 Tre-X Off Road Triathlon Series will be held at: Murrenbong Scout Camp 135 Scout Road Kurwongbah Qld, 4503 The event is on the north side of Brisbane, not far from Petrie and takes approximately 30-45 minutes travel time from the Brisbane CBD. | |
