The event started in February 1982 when a group of friends decided to put on the first Triathlon in Sydney’s west. They were inspired by watching the Hawaiian Ironman that was covered on TV. In its early days, the event was held in the Nepean River, and at the time of the first triathlon, there were no bike racks or handlers that were essential to hold the equipment and bikes for the competitors.

The Nepean Triathlon remains an iconic sporting and community event on the Aussie triathlon calendar. The event and the history it has created is a testament to all the volunteers, sponsors, race organisers and entrants who have supported what is now Australia’s oldest triathlon.
