Wyong Lakes Festival is set to bring out the Coast’s competitive spirit with a number of great sporting events.

Colour Ya World on 12 November and TriWyong on 13 November are two fun sporting events at Wyong Lakes Festival that involve getting out and being active by walking, running, cycling and swimming against the stunning backdrop of the lakes.

The Colour Ya World Fun Run at Picnic Point involves walking, running, dancing and singing across a simple 5km course.

The perfect event for families, participants can move or groove in whichever way they like to the latest tunes being mixed by one of the Lakes’ hottest DJs as they get peppered with liquids, powders and gels of blue, green, pink, purple and yellow, turning them into rainbows.

After the success of 2015 some of the nations’ top triathletes are again expected to hit MacKenzie Reserve, Budgewoi for the second Wyong Triathlon Festival.

For those who feel like trying something new enter the Try-a-Tri for free, which involves a 200m swim, 8km ride and 2km run – a friendly and achievable distance for newcomers to the sport.

Five separate distances will be held over the course of the day, including the signature Standard distance, the high speed Sprint and the more welcoming distances in the Enforcer and Enticer.

Race organiser, Elite Energy CEO, Mr Mark Emerton, said “Wyong provides an ideal natural landscape for triathlon and fun run events and is excited to provide two great events for the massive hub of triathletes and locals.

“For the kids, we have the ever popular MINIMAN,” Mr Emerton said.

Registrations for TriWyong close 9 November at 5pm and entries are accepted on race day.

Registrations for Colour Ya World close 10 November at 5pm and children under the age of five are free. Enter as an individual, family or team.
