Welcome to Women's Triathlon

Women’s Triathlon - 19th February 2012

The Women’s Triathlon has grown to be the largest and most successful women’s only triathlon in Australia. Over the 21 years the Women’s Triathlon has been running, it has prided itself on presenting a friendly and enjoyable experience for women of all ages. Our aim is to promote the physically active lifestyle to women, in a non intimidating environment. This positive atmosphere that we aim to provide at the Women’s Triathlon, only adds to the credibility of this successful event.

In 2007 and 2008, the Women’s Triathlon reached maximum participant numbers and in 2009 the decision was made to move away from the traditional location of Matilda Bay to a new and exciting location, Hillary’s. The new location allows for larger participation numbers and consequently the 2009, 2010 and 2011 events have been huge successes.

With increasing numbers each year, the Women’s Triathlon reaches a large range of participants, including first time triathletes. The experience they receive is of the highest standard and promotes new opportunities for women to become physically active.

Event Charities

The Women's Triathlon has been a significant event for women in the WA community; through this we are again partnering with the Esther Foundation. This year the event will also partner with the Women & Infants Research Foundation WAto increase awareness of other organisations that supports WA women.

The Esther Foundation a not for profit organisation which operates a program for young women aged 14-35 wanting to get their lives back on track.

The program provides support and accommodation for young women to overcome issues relating from substance abuse, self-harm, family breakdown, domestic violence, sexual abuse and mental health problems - in a safe and structured environment. The Esther Foundation Recovery Program aims to empower and enrich young women with self-worth, skills and the confidence to lead successful lives within the community.

The Women's Triathlon has adopted an additional charity for this year's event, the Women & Infants Research Foundation WA (WIRF). Based at King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) the Foundation is both an independent research institution and charity. WIRF is affiliated with The University of Western Australia and KEMH, conducting high quality research for the benefit of human health relating to the fields of reproductive health and diseases of women at all ages.

Much of WIRF’s work is about ‘creating healthy generations’ - making research discoveries that will improve the outcome of sick babies before and soon after birth and improve women’s health in pregnancy and later in life.
Each dollar donated will be used towards ‘creating healthy generations’ by improving the health of babies, mums and women here in WA.
