First place in a distance category gets the winner 10 points, second place 8, and so forth.

Women dominated the leaderboard last year: Continue reading “Striders Club Championship Races for 2012”

Striders has been privileged to enter into a Reciprocal Membership Agreement with Redcliffe Tri Club. RTC is the premier triathlon club of Brisbane and one of the longest running.

This agreement allows for a crossover of membership benefits and will hopefully mutually promote both clubs. Continue reading “Striders partnership with Redcliffe Tri club”
