Volunteering is a fantastic way to give back to the triathlon community and support your local club. By offering your time and skills, you help create a supportive and vibrant environment that benefits everyone. Your contributions can enhance the success of the club, foster camaraderie, and ensure the smooth running of races, making the sport more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Volunteering is a rewarding opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, learn more about the sport, and make a tangible impact on events and issues that matter to you. Giving back not only strengthens the community but also enriches your own triathlon journey.
SPECTATE AND CHEER – BRING THE ENERGY!
Attending triathlon races as a spectator and cheering for your fellow athletes is crucial to creating amazing race atmosphere. Your enthusiastic support gives athletes the motivation and energy they need to push through challenging moments, making their race experience more rewarding. A supportive crowd boosts morale, creating a positive and electric environment that uplifts everyone involved. Your cheers and encouragement can turn a tough race into an extraordinary memory. By showing up and cheering, you’re saying to your fellow athletes – you can do this! Everybody needs someone in their corner, so why not show up and cheer for everyone!

LEARN HOW TO COACH
Coaches play an incredibly important role in the landscape of the sport of triathlon. A great coach supports the enjoyment and performance of triathletes at all levels. Quality coaches have a huge impact on our triathlon communities, through the time they spend with triathletes, they have a positive influence on the life and values of those they come into contact with. The role of the coach is fundamental to the success of all triathletes at every level.
The AusTriathlon coach education framework provides a pathway for accreditation and professional development. No prior experience is required to start the Foundation Coach Course – just a willingness to learn!
