In conjunction with the Contact Energy Scorching Triathlons this summer we will be holding the Wellington Triathlon & Multisport Club Championship races for Wellington Triathlon & Multisport club members. (all other normal Scorcher events will still be happening)
About the Wellington Triathlon & Multisport Club
The Wellington Triathlon & Multisport Club had its beginnings in the mid-1980's when triathlon and multisport were in their infancy.
From 1985 to now, the Wellington Triathlon & Multisport Club has grown to include over 200 members some of whom represent New Zealand at world-class level.
But the club does not exist solely for the accomplished athlete. On the contrary, the strength of the Club has always been, and will continue to be, the number of members who support and participate regularly in all the local races.
What does the club do?
The Wellington Triathlon and Multisport Club promotes triathlon and multisport in the Wellington region by bringing together triathletes and multisporters of all skills and abilities
To do this the club:
- organises and supports local races
- has club nights with guest speakers
- organises mentoring, coaching and group training sessions
- works with media outlets to create a higher profile of the sport in the community
- Liases with Triathlon NZ over club members concerns
As a club member what do you get?
- reduced entry fees for club, Triathlon New Zealand and some associated races, events and coaching sessions
- club newsletters
- access to club nights
- discounts at the club’s sponsors and sponsors of Triathlon New Zealand
- membership to TriNZ (the national triathlon body)
How do you stay informed with what is happening?
They send out a weekly email about what’s coming up - races, club nights, training sessions, race results and club member successes from around the country. (It only takes two minutes to join)
