We love to swim, bike, run and get social

FMCT Simulation Day – June 2017

Welcome to our first Race Simulation Day of the 2017 season! This event provides an opportunity to practice as many parts of the multi-sport experience as you want, in a similar setting to what you would experience on race day (hopefully with fewer nerves though). You are welcome to come to swim bike and run, or swim and run, or swim and bike, or bike and run. Our two NCCP certified coaches will be available to provide assistance and advice.
