The WRAS Triathlon program is delivered in partnership with Triathlon NSW and the Regional Academies of Sport (RAS) network.

This program provides a high‑performance development pathway for talented young Triathletes, focusing on technical skills, strength and conditioning, athlete education, and personal growth. It aligns with the Triathlon NSW Development Pathway and connects athletes to state and national pathways.

Athletes receive targeted skill development, seasonal training support, and preparation for races in the Biligence Pathways Series. Athletes are encouraged to engage in their local club races and wider Central West Triathlon League.
