DESPITE facing extreme weather conditions leading up to last weekend, the 2024 Redline Games were concluded on Sunday, following the successful running and completion of the Nepean Triathlon, the inaugural Australian Super Sprint Triathlon Championships, the inaugural Rock N Run Festival and the Corporate Teams Triathlon.
Torrential rain in the days leading up to the event had posed significant challenges for both organisers and participants but the resilience and adaptability of all involved ensured the successful execution of the
events.
Elite Energy Events, the organising body behind the event, expresses sincere gratitude to all competitors for their understanding and patience, as modifications were made to certain courses to prioritise safety amidst the adverse weather conditions.
Mark Emerton, CEO of Elite Energy Events, said “The dedication and sportsmanship displayed by competitors, with the tireless efforts of our event crew, made this year’s Redline Games truly memorable. Despite the challenging weather conditions, participants embraced the opportunity to compete and celebrate Australia’s vibrant sporting culture.” Marketing and Communications Manager Hew Colless said, “The Nepean Triathlon, renowned as Australia’s oldest Triathlon, featured distances catering from beginners up to middle-distance, along with the inaugural Australian Super Sprint Triathlon Championships.
“For over four decades, the Nepean Triathlon has enjoyed the remarkable dedication of four legendary athletes who’ve been a part of every edition since its inception in 1982. Supported by the Pantherettes this year, Peter Smith (#2003), Eugene Irvin (#2062), Greg Davies (#2165), and Greg Chapman (#2038) truly epitomised endurance and commitment, showcasing a level of devotion rarely seen in sporting events.
“Though Greg Chapman (#2038) faced a setback this year, his enduring spirit remains a shining example of the courage that defines the Nepean Triathlon’s legacy. The Redline Games weekend was further enriched by free sunrise yoga and breath-work sessions, a health and lifestyle festival, and various entertainment offerings, providing something for everyone in attendance.
“Looking ahead, whilst a date is yet to be announced for the 2025 Redline Games, anticipation is already building for another thrilling showcase of athleticism and community spirit.”
