Kakadu Triathlon date set for May 2020

14 February 2020

The eighth annual Kakadu Triathlon will be back in Jabiru on Saturday, 9 May 2020, and organisers are encouraging everyone to save the date.
The 2020 event will run in the same format involving the open triathlon and duathlon and the junior races, with the event circuit incorporating the town pool and streets of Jabiru.
The triathlon and duathlon includes those over 14 years of age and the junior skills events are for those under 14 (ages as at 31 December 2019.)
Organisers are hoping for a great turn out of participants once again in 2020, with last year’s event attracting over 130 competitors and more than $10,000 raised for CareFlight.
In the 2019 results, Jabiru participants Mathew Broster did extremely well to take first place in the Men’s Open Duathlon and Gavin and Kade Chapman taking the Open Team Duathlon win. Leisa Puckering also came in third position in the Open Women’s Triathlon.
A particular thank you must go to Jabiru local Anthony Jones who alone raised more than $2000 for CareFlight through his fundraising efforts.
General Manager – Northern Territory of CareFlight Philip Roberts said, “CareFlight appreciates the support of the Jabiru community and all the competitors and their supporters from across the Top End. The funds raised will help CareFlight in our mission to save lives and speed recovery.”
Online registrations will open in a few weeks' time and for more information, visit the ‘Kakadu Triathlon’ Facebook page.
