HUSKY Triathlon Festival

Happy National Volunteer Week ✨

Earlier this year, the team from HMAS Creswell showed up for the 2026 Shimano Huskisson Triathlon Festival in March in a big way - volunteering at the event and helping us deliver an incredible experience for thousands of athletes and spectators.

We're thrilled to announce a $5,000 donation to Noah's Inclusion Services — the charity nominated by the HMAS Creswell team themselves.

For our CEO Mark Emerton, this one is personal. Mark previously served in the Navy alongside CPO Chapman's father, so having the HMAS Creswell team on the ground at Husky Tri meant a lot more than just extra hands on deck.

To every member of the HMAS Creswell team — thank you. You made the 2026 festival better, and you've made a real difference for Noah's Inclusion Services. We look forward to having you back in Huskisson 🤝

From storm clouds to sunshine ☔➡️☀️

The Shimano Big Husky Triathlon Festival 2026 didn’t quite go to plan…

With rough surf conditions and poor water quality forcing swim cancellations, our athletes dug deep, taking on the bike and run with resilience, grit and pure determination. And wow, did they deliver some absolutely unbelievable finishes!

Massive efforts and incredible times across the board! 🙌

To all our athletes, spectators and volunteers - thank you for making today unforgettable. Your determination and spirit is what makes this such a special and unique event.

And we’re not done yet…
Rokeby Run Huskisson 2.0 is up next tomorrow 👟🔥 Who’s in for round two? ✌️

Huge thank you to all our sponsors:

Pure finish line joy! 🤩 Our tape-taking Female Classic athlete shows us exactly what it feels like to cross that finish line and end on a massive high. Job well done!! 👏 👏 👏

🚨 UPDATE: We regret to announce the cancellation of all swim events at the Shimano Husky Triathlon Festival, scheduled for Sunday 29 March.

Following a severe weather system hitting the NSW Coast, we have received direct advice from local authorities and our specialised water safety team. Due to hazardous surf conditions and poor water quality, it has been determined that the environment is unsafe.

While we share your disappointment, the safety of our athletes and water safety personnel is our absolute priority. We simply cannot compromise on your wellbeing.

For all registered athletes: Please check your email for details of next steps. If you registered for the Ocean Swims and did not receive an email, please send us a DM.

We are really saddened to have to make this call, but we thank you for your understanding in keeping our community safe.

We look forward to seeing you back in the water soon.

That’s what you call inspiring! 🙌🔥 Our first Ultimate Female athlete over the line takes the tape! What. A. Race.

Our Ultimate Male tape-taker making it look easy!! 👀
90km bike + 21km run is NO joke. Amazing work! 🤩⚡️
