Welcome to the 2019 Devonport Triathlon
Welcome to the 2019 Devonport Triathlon, now in its 34th year.
The prestigious race ranks among Australia’s oldest triathlons and
continues to attract both high participation and spectator numbers.
The event showcases elite triathletes from around the world and
includes a Paratriathlon World Cup. This is one of six Paratriathlon
World Cup events being held around the globe and the only one in
Australia.
The Devonport Triathlon is also a great opportunity to experience the
unique North-West Coast of Tasmania. Home to fantastic produce,
great food and wine, and some the state’s most spectacular nature
based tourism experiences, I encourage athletes, supporters and
friends to explore what the region has to offer.
I wish all competitors the best of luck and encourage all Tasmanians to
support and enjoy this fantastic summer event on the North-West
Coast.

WELCOME
It is my great pleasure to once again welcome you to Devonport for the
opening event of the ITU Paratriathlon World Cup season, and the
magnificent island of Tasmania.
The Devonport Triathlon history reaches all the way back to 1985, and over
the past 34 years it has truly established a world-class reputation and
cemented its place as one of Australia’s very best triathlon racing
experiences.
Last year, the hugely experienced Bill Chaffey and Sally Pillbeam were
among those athletes conquering popular gold medals, and the 2019
course will once again have the famous Mersey Bluff Lighthouse as its
backdrop. The athletes starting with a 750m swim off the north coast of
the island, before transitioning to the 6-lap, 20km bike course along the
coastline before finishing with two laps of a flat and fast 2.5km at the
mouth of the Mersey River.
As well as the prestigious World Cup races, the weekend will again be
packed with extra events for local residents to get involved in the action,
including the popular Trikids race and Community Triathlons for
individuals and teams, truly making this an occasion for the entire
community to enjoy.
Devonport has provided us with years of thrilling action and we are
looking forward to an excellent few days of family-friendly activities that
will bring more people to our sport as well as providing plenty of first-class
racing for them to watch.
My thanks to Triathlon Australia and the Local Organising Committee for
putting together another wonderful occasion with which to begin the
2019 Paratriathlon World Cup calendar. May you all have another
memorable weekend of ITU racing.
Sincerely,
Marisol Casado
President, International Triathlon Union

WELCOME
On behalf of Triathlon Australia, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to
Tasmania, as we host the opening round of the ITU Paratriathlon World
Cup season in Devonport.
Devonport has a long and rich history in the Australian triathlon
landscape, the local community supporting triathlon for the past 35
years.
We are equally as passionate about supporting iconic events and
helping to build on their existing ‘investment.
2019 is the second year Devonport has held the Paratriathlon event and
we are working collaboratively with the local organizing committee
towards its inclusion on the ITU Paratriathlon World Series calendar in
2020.
Devonport presents our paratriathletes a home advantage as they start
the journey in accumulating valuable points towards Tokyo 2020.
The weekend includes a whole lot more with the Oceania
Championship, Mixed Relay Championship, Youth and Junior National
Championship, which means the fields will attract our very best
Australian athletes and New Zealanders.
The racing will be fast with so many focused not just on titles but all
valuable points towards Tokyo.
The weekend is also packed with events for the local community to
take part in, making this one of our key events this summer.
I would like to thank the local organizing committee, in particular
Michael Bonney for his continued support and passion for driving
triathlon in Tasmania and I’m very much looking forward to being part
of the weekend.
Miles Stewart
CEO, Triathlon Australia
