The Perth Triathlon is an annual event that has been held for over 25 years. It is an early season triathlon that is good for beginners and seasoned pros.
As of 2022, the Perth Triathlon is dedicated to the memory of Jon Hetherington, one of the original organisers and a participant in every Perth Triathlon up to 2018. Many participants will remember Jon riding his single speed bicycle, running in his crocs, and still beating most of the participants!
The 2022 Perth Triathlon will be held on Sunday June 5, at the Perth and District Indoor Pool. See all the details below.
Registration opens on Monday March 7 and will close at 5:00 pm on Friday June 3, 2020.

We will have some disposable options for those who forget.
