A new date for the Mooloolaba Triathlon has been set, after Tropical Cyclone Alfred forced the event to be rescheduled.
The event was initially planned for March 8 and 9 but was postponed on Tuesday after Sunshine Coast Council suspended its permit as the storm neared.
In a statement, organisers confirmed that the 2025 event will now take place on March 29 and 30.
“The team has been working with event stakeholders to secure a new date for this year’s Mooloolaba Triathlon and look forward to welcoming athletes and their supporters to the region at the end of March,” it said.
“The event would like to thank athletes, stakeholders, partners and volunteers for their continued support of the Mooloolaba Triathlon.”
It will be the 33rd running of the event, which attracts more than 5000 competitors and injects more than $8.5 million into the local economy,
Leanna Ali, the regional director for organiser The IRONMAN Group Oceania, said she was looking forward to the return of the event.
“The Mooloolaba Triathlon has grown over the years to become one of the highlights of the Sunshine Coast events calendar,” she said.
“From its first running back in 1993 with 255 individual competitors and 74 teams, to this year where we will welcome more than 5000 athletes and hundreds of volunteers, the Mooloolaba Triathlon is an event not to miss.”
