One of the highlights of the Armidale Triathlon Club calendar is the New England Interclub Tri Series, which is set to return in February 2023. This series, involving Armidale, Tamworth, and Scone Triathlon Clubs, provides an exciting opportunity for friendly competition and collaboration between clubs in the New England region. In the inaugural NE interclub series, the Armidillos emerged victorious. Unfortunately, the 2019–2020 series had to be cancelled due to storms and the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, members can look forward to a new and improved series in 2023.
