Organisers of the Kingscliff Triathlon have announced they’ll waive fees for athletes stood down as a result of COVID-19.
A number of spots have been allocated to those who require financial assistance.
“If people are disadvantaged by economic circumstances then it’s a really good way to get them to participate.”
The event was postponed in March and is scheduled for the last Sunday of August.
Organisers say the event gives families something to work towards during this period of isolation, having a positive impact on mental health.
“With the coming of spring and the chance for people to get out and exercise in a meaningful way, well the triathlon offers that.”
