The first six-week race series will be an opportunity to rediscover that motivation and inspiration you have been missing, and won't just be about racing. Along the way, we will have recipe sharing and other perks for those involved with the opportunity to focus on a healthy way of losing COVID-kilos if you happened to pick any up this year. The second six-week race series will be an opportunity to test the benefits of the training camp, as well as leading into Christmas and the hopeful return of racing in 2021. 

Both the race series and training camp is open to all Tri-Alliance annual members and with prize packs from Tri-Alliance and our very special partners, you won't want to miss out! There will be a number of different race categories and age groups, so everyone can be involved (not just those with power meters or smart trainers!) and prizes will not just go to the fastest or strongest racers - there will be something for everyone!

More details to come but if you are interested please complete the expression of interest below to ensure you are kept up to date with planning.
