Sponsors and Supporters

Triathlon ACT has close links with the ACT community, and has close relationships with our sponsors and supporters.
In developing a partnership with sponsors, Triathlon ACT aims to:
- increase exposure of sponsor's name and product to triathlon community
- increase the number of members and competitors visiting sponsor's business

Association Partnership

SPORT & RECREATION ACT

The ACT Government through Sport & Recreation ACT's Operational Program has continued to be our major sponsor, and in 2002 we were fortunate to receive an increase in funding as a result of continued organisational improvements. Sport & Recreation ACT manages the ACT Government's involvement in sport and recreation. Its roles and responsibilities include sport and recreation development and managing the ACT Academy of Sport. The Bureau believes everyone in our community should be encouraged to access sport, recreation and fitness opportunities, for a healthy active lifestyle

Promotional Support

TACT has various businesses providing promotional support: Ryders eyewear, Runner's Shop, Ian Ingram Massage Therapy and Adrenalin+.

THE RUNNERS SHOP

The Runners Shop was established in 1990 and is now widely regarded as one of, if not the, best running and triathlon specialist stores in Australia. They are much more than just a retail outlet - and are the centre of running in Canberra. In addition to having a tremendous range of shoes, apparel and accessories, they provide an information centre with entry forms, calendars, newsletters and publications. The Runners Shop (Dundas Court, Phillip) provide barrel draw prizes and vouchers for the TACT Duathlon Series.

ADRENALIN +

Adrenalin+ donated a snowboard worth over $700 to give away at the 2002 Winter Kids Duathlon Series. This was promoted at our school visits, and was highly successful in promoting the Adrenalin+ store to school children. Adrenalin+ has continued their support of Triathlon ACT, by providing an awesome pair of rollerblades for the 2002-03 CPS Kids Series. These will be given away at the CPS Kids Race #3, and all participants over the three races will enter the draw. Adrenalin+ sell a wide range of gear including snowboards, rollerblades, skateboards and awesome clothing. They are located in the city opposite the Casino.
