After a successful inaugural year, the 2nd annual 2XU Falls Creek Triathlon and Trail Running Festival is one of this Summer's most highly anticipated events. To make the event more special, this year it plays host to the Australian Long Course Championships.
The sensational long course triathlon, coupled with the trail running festival, is an absolute must for those looking for a new challenge in their multi-sport calendar. Entries at the inaugural event last year poured in at a very rapid pace as participants geared up for what was classified as a gruelling but very rewarding event. A prize pool of $10,000 will be up for grabs this year once again as participant’s battle their way through Australia’s toughest triathlon, over the 2km swim, 80km cycle, and 20km trail run.
Falls Creek is a testament to perfect racing conditions, with perfect summer weather for the event this year. Amongst a breathtaking scenic backdrop 2000 people made the journey to Falls Creek, with 850 participating in the events. With the limited field size, this is an event to act quickly on! Don't miss your opportunity to experience something truly special!
Falls Creek is Victoria’s largest and most picturesque alpine village, and sets the scene for a great weekend holiday with excellent accommodation and activities for not only triathletes, but for their friends and family. It has also been noted for altitude training camps for National and International competitors such as the Melbourne Rebels and Geelong Cats.
The trail running festival is an open category only - all abilities are welcome (walkers, casual jogger, through to the serious runners!) Each of the runs uses the aqueduct trail that winds along the ridge offering magnificent views over the valley and the Falls Creek village. Don't miss your chance to experience this unique trail running experience!
