SquareOne Women’s Health Triathlon & Training Clinics

Balmoral Triathlon Club (BTC) Women’s Triathlon is open to all female participants aged 15 years or over.

Our Womens’ Triathlon is non-competitive and all about a fun, supportive environment: Finish Lines not Finish Times. It is a fabulous opportunity for first timers and a fun hit out for experienced triathletes on a traffic free course. To help get you ready to take part, BTC is providing free training clinics and a free training programme.

The event

It is a short course, enticer distance triathlon for women only, held at the scenic location of Middle Head in Mosman. The 200m swim takes place in the sheltered waters of Obelisk Beach, before the 9km cycle takes in three laps of Chowder Bay Road which is closed to traffic for the race, and finally the 2km run takes place on Middle Head Oval.

WHEN: 6.30am Sunday 2 March 2025

WHERE: Middle Head, Mosman

Individuals or relay teams can take part in any configuration. One person can do all three legs solo, a team of two with one person doing two legs and one person doing one leg or a team of three with each person doing one leg.

Swim aids and wetsuits are permitted for the swim leg and any type of bike is permitted for the bike leg (exc e-bikes). You can enter as an individual or a relay team for only $20 and this covers the cost of a Triathlon Australia Day Pass providing you with insurance for the race.

A full course description, including course maps, will be found in the BTC SquareOne Women's Health Triathlon Event Guide.

Like all BTC events, this race will be conducted in accordance with NSW Triathlon Rules. 

Training Clinics

To help newcomers to the sport, BTC will be running a series of pre-event training clinics and a course familiarisation session, all of which are provided at no charge to race entrants. The training clinics will be hosted by BTC club members and led by coach Christina Thomas. These sessions are women only and open to all members and non-members, but we will need you to register.

Christina is an Energy Link Performance Coach with over 20 years’ experience coaching and mentoring age group to elite athletes, and a former Australian Ironman Champion with elite racing experience in Australia and internationally.
