$5.00 from every entry is donated to REAL MATES TALK
The Mackay Triathlon Club is proud to announce Real Mates Talk as our charity for our inaugural Mens Only Triathlon.
With 3 of our club sponsors also being ambassadors for Real Mates Talk, it was a no brainer.
- Evan Corry
- Kay Nyenuh
- Alan Zamparutti
We also cannot thank Ryan McGovern enough for being our Event Ambassador, and look forward to his commentary on the day!
This event is not about the race, its about encouraging our men to get out with their mates in a fun and supportive atmosphere and just giving it a go.
You can participate solo, or grab a couple of mates and form a team of 2 or 3 and do 1 leg each.
You also don't need all the fancy gear, shorts to swim in, a bike to ride and a pair of runners, that's all you need to participate.

REAL MATES TALK

Around three-quarters of the people who die by suicide in the Whitsunday, Isaac and Mackay region are men. These men are aged from teenagers to the elderly – they are our brothers, sons, husbands, workmates, friends and neighbours.
The Real Mates Talk men’s campaign intends to prevent suicide attempts and deaths of men in our community and support them to connect with others and live well. Across the region, many men have put their hand up to be an Ambassador for this campaign – scroll down to see them below. If you want to join us, let us know!
With Real Mates Talk, these men aim to:
Encourage men in their community to ask “What’s up mate?”
Encourage men (and women) to ask for help
Support them to have places to go to connect with others
