| Team Kirk: Bruce and Kirsty Kirk, with sons, James, Tim and Campbell, are in training for the upcoming Kyneton Aquathon. The Kirks are familiar faces at the aquathon each year. |
Tie up those laces and slip on your speedos, the 2013 Kyneton Aquathon is almost upon us.
The two-stage swimming and running race will be held at the Kyneton Toyota Sports and Aquatic Centre on Sunday, March 17.
"Whether you're looking to get fit or knock out the competition, now is the perfect time to begin training for the big day," said Jon Ground, manager of the Kyneton Toyota Sports & Aquatic Centre.
Sport and fitness enthusiasts of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate in either a mini, short or long course option.
"Don't forget that if you're a runner but not a great swimmer or vice-versa, you can enter as part of a team to tackle the swim and run sections of the race," Mr Ground said.
The mini-course is friendly to any age group, especially designed for first timers. The run is 400m with a 50m swim (two-pool lap). The short course includes a 4km run and 400m swim (16 laps). Feistier participants can enjoy the long course, consisting of an 8km run and 800m swim (32 laps).
Both short and long courses are completed in age categories. Team entries are for these courses only.
Major sponsor Kleenheat Gas is throwing in an 86-litre Waeco Cool-Ice icebox each for the male and female champions of the long course. Kyneton RSL and iSeekBlinds will also be sponsoring the event. Spot prizes will be awarded on the day.
