Bribie Island Triathlon is a series with a long history. 18 years running and still going strong, its come a long way from its humble beginnings.

Noel Wust began a successful three race series in Bribie in 1987. Three years later Run Inn Promotions came in and took over the series making it a four race series and started doing their best to make it an even bigger and better success.

Race director Phil Hungerford mapped out the course, which is still now almost the same as the original. The tide assisted swim with a flat and fast cycle and run has become a favourite amongst triathletes.

Every season brought something new and different to the series.

Big name professionals with athletes such as Miles Stewart, Craig Walton, Courtney Atkinson, Chris Hill, Jackie Gallagher and Leanda Cave, showing up every now and then.

Horrific weather with rain and storms. And state championships bringing out the competitive nature in competitors and much more. But through every high and low, race organisers, volunteers, athletes and the Bribie community have all toughed it out to keep the series going year after year.

The Bribie Triathlon has a festive and relaxed atmosphere unlike any other.

The families and friends who race every year bring a level of sportsmanship that you won't see anywhere else.

Run Inn Promotions do their best to not only make the athletes happy with a fun and safe race but they also attempt to cater for the needs of the families and friends who come along to watch their loved one race.

This season the series is set to be the best yet. Adding a new shorter Just Tri It series to the original four races set up, it gives the first timers and not so experienced a chance to get out and give it a go.

And with an overwhelming support from the Bribie and triathlon community, means more sponsors and competitors than ever before, the races are set to be the best yet.

We would like to thanks the Competitors for supporting these races as all the proceeds go back into the community. We would like to thank Blue Pacific Hotel, Caltex Bribie Island, Surf Life Saving, S.E.S Bribie, Banksia Beach School, Sylvan Beach Resort, Bribie Island Rotary Club, Apex, Garry Parson Caboolture Shire Council, without people like these people their would not be triathlons.
