Kakadu – Triathlon

Take the plunge, ride it out, and do the hard yards!

One of Jabiru’s most popular community events, the Kakadu Triathlon is held in May each year, celebrating the start of Kakadu’s tourist season. In 2018, West Arnhem Regional Council proudly took over the coordination of this event to secure its future for a long time to come. Participants, spectators and volunteers converge for the early morning event which kicks off at the Alberto Luglietti Memorial Swimming Pool in Jabiru with a 250m swim, followed by a 7.5km bike ride and a 2.5km run.

Since its inception in 2013, the Kakadu Triathlon has raised funds for the aeromedical charity CareFlight while promoting healthy lifestyles.

Jabiru in the Northern Territory is located 256km from Darwin.
