History

Triathlon WA was established in 1986 as the governing body to oversee and promote the further development of the sports of Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquathlon in Western Australia. Triathlon WA is a non-profit organisation and is affiliated to the national governing body Triathlon Australia which has over 10,000 direct members. In the 2009/2010 season there was over 114,000 partcipants throughout Australia. Triathlon WA has over 1,900 members, most of whom also belong to 14 affiliated clubs around Western Australia, 7 of which are located in the country.

Triathlon WA’s network of clubs is based as far north as Karratha and as far south as Esperance. Participation rates by non-members are estimated to be 10 times these numbers and the reach and touch of Triathlon into the community far greater again.
