Australia’s biggest and most popular triathlon, The Noosa Triathlon, headlines Seven’s new suite of triathlon and multi-sport events to be broadcast on Channel 7 and 7Mate, including all Asia Pacific Ironman and 70.3 events.

Starting with the iconic Noosa Triathlon, contested by some of Australia’s leading athletes at Noosa Heads in Queensland on Sunday November 3, Seven will telecast highlights of the Asia-Pacific’s premier triathlon events on Channel 7 and 7mate.
