After 22 years the Quarry Mining Maitland Triathlon has been rewarded by Triathlon Australia with Qualifying status in the Long and Sprint distance events for the 2021 World Age Group Championships in Canada in August 2021. Offering 3 events on Sun 8 Nov, the event will be a sell out with COVID reducing the available event numbers to 350, due to mass gathering limits of 500.
We have recently met with local stakeholders of our events and would like to announce that, subject to NO further restrictions being imposed in the Hunter Region, that our events planned for 2020 can proceed with 3 main area of change: READ MORE BELOW
The following are some of the changes we will need to make at upcoming events:

After 25 years and 21 starts, last weekend’s Quarry Mining Maitland Triathlon was given a big thumbs up by elite, age groupers, spectators and technical officials alike. After horrendous winds on the Friday and fire dangers in the North of the State, Sunday put on a brilliant spring day in the Hunter Valley township of Morpeth near Maitland. It would be hard to think the area is in drought, with recent rain just enough to green up the paddocks for the race. With the event compound area set next to the river and boat ramp, the transition area just 50m from the swim, and finish line right beside it, there was plenty of action on offer last Sunday. With the swim was a straight up and back past the Morpeth Bridge, the cycle leg loops of a 20km flatish course and run being dead flat on a hotdog 2.5km course, the athletes got plenty of love from spectators and locals alike.
