All eyes will be centred on the Marlo Foreshore on Saturday, January 4, with the annual Orbost Snowy Rovers Football Netball Club and Riviera Triathlon Club’s Marlo triathlon taking centre stage.
The event was established in 1992 and has been a constant in the local summer activities most years, with only bushfires and COVID in recent times preventing the staging of the event which is popular with locals and tourists.
Once again, the Marlo race is a twilight event, with the kids race (under seven and under 12) kicking off at 2pm, 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.
The main race consists of a 500 metre swim, 21km bike ride and 5.5km run, while the fun tri 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 tri, 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.
If you require more details, talk with any of the usual competitors or any member of the Orbost Snowy Rovers Football Netball club or the Riviera Triathlon Club website for information and online entries.
