Vegetarian Triathlon 2011

The Vegetarian Triathlon is a community event which is designed for all fitness levels, ages and interests. It is a unique event where serious athletes participate alongside novices and everyone is a winner.

All are welcome to participate in the Vegetarian Triathlon – if you are not already vegetarian all you have to do is go vegetarian for one month before the event. You’ll learn about vegetarian lifestyle, do your health a favour, enjoy great food as well as be eligible to join the tri as a participant. It’s easy!

If you are already vegetarian, this is a day where our community comes together. It is an event which celebrates being vegetarian in a healthy active way whilst highlighting the many positive impacts of our lifestyle for the planet, animals and health.

The event is being organised by the Christchurch Vegetarian Centre, a branch of the New Zealand Vegetarian Society Inc. This event is built on the centre’s success and experience of organising the five Vegan Triathlons which were held between 2005 and 2009 and last year’s Vegetarian Triathlon.

There are short, medium and long options of the Vegetarian Triathlon. In 2010 our youngest participant was 8, and the oldest was 61! There is a children's event as well which is free and fun; vegetarian requirement is only one day.

The real highlight of the day is the dinner afterwards where we can all unwind, have a delicious meal and win some spot prizes!

$50, or $35 if you have last year’s t-shirt. Please note that t-shirts are compulsory during the event.
