The annual Marlo triathlon will take place on Saturday, commencing at 2pm.
The event was established in 1992 and is run by the Orbost Snowy Rovers Football Netball Club and Riviera Triathlon Club, where the Snowy River meets the sea.
This year’s race offers something for everyone with kids, first timers and teams all catered for on a busy schedule in the afternoon.
The kids race (under seven and under 12) kicks off the event at 2pm, followed by the fun triathlon race for novices and juniors commencing at 3pm and the main race at 4pm.
The transition area will once again be the grounds of the Marlo Hotel, with registrations open from 12pm on the hotel lawn, with opportunities for teams and individuals to join the fun.
The main race consists of a 500 metre swim, 21 kilometre bike ride and 5500 metre run,
while the fun triathlon cycle course is two laps of the Marlo township and the run course is one lap.
Both events can be done as individuals or in teams.
The fun triathlon, which is over the shorter course, has become increasingly popular over the past few years with both juniors and adults just starting off in triathlons.
Local trophies are awarded to the first athletes over the line with a 3888 postcode.
Event organisers are expected good numbers to participate again this year.
