Noosa Triathlon

The Noosa Triathlon is an annual standard distance triathlon (1500m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run) held in Noosa, in the Australian state of Queensland and organised by the World Triathlon Corporation. Since its first race in 1983 the competition has evolved from a single day race into an annual five-day multisport festival celebrating sports participation, healthy lifestyles, fitness and fun. The feature event on the final day of the festival is the Noosa Triathlon.

In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Noosa Triathlon was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as an "event and festival".[1]

gollark: It was quite nice!
gollark: I went for a few days!
gollark: Yes!
gollark: There's no very good justification for this. It's a stupidly overspecific rule with seemingly no useful purpose.
gollark: Don't make ridiculous arbitrary rules then.
