Triathlon ACT is a not for profit organization, created as the peak body for triathlon, duathlon, aquathon and multisport events in the ACT. As one of the 8 states/territories belonging to Triathlon Australia, TACT provides participation, sport development, education and performance programs and events. 

Triathlon ACT is family focused and is proud to be a part of the most inclusive sport. Triathlon is one of the only sports which caters for young children, 90 year old masters athletes, para triathletes, novice participants and elite athletes together during training and competition day. 

Triathlon ACT has seen a 65% growth in membership since 2014 and between 20-80% growth in event participation during the past year, as a result on focusing on reducing entry barriers, developing inclusive programs, partnering with charities focused on disadvantaged children, and creating fun, exciting, engaging and entertaining events. Triathlon ACT creates an atmosphere of inclusivity and camaraderie. 

Triathlon ACT has been working closely with Triathlon Australia to develop new junior triathlon programs to introduce children to the sport of triathlon while reducing barriers to entry. The TRYstars schools program commencing in 2015, which provides an enjoyable entry level introduction to the sport for primary school children. It feeds in nicely to the TRYstars club program which focuses on developing the basic skills of triathlon and concludes with a participation event, designed for achieving a personal challenge in a non-threatening environment. 

Our 13 clubs are the lifeblood of the organisation, creating social, friendly, community and inclusive environments for athletes of all ages and abilities. The Novice program is one of the best in the world. The program combines introductory skills sessions, progressive training programs, social events, education seminars and a wonderful environment to meet new people. 

Athletes, coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers have shown tremendous success, including representing Australia at the Olympic Games. 

Our aim is to provide triathlon programs and events, with a family focused, community driven and inclusive environment. We provide opportunities for people to make a difference and achieve a personal challenge.
