Come and TRI healthy living festival!

Come and TRI healthy living festival, will be an open community event suitable for people of all ages and walks of life. The focus for the day will be around ways in which to lead a healthier lifestyle within the Colac region, and will feature a Triathlon event encouraging people to have a "TRI" at something new. The swim leg will commence at the Bluewater Leisure Centre, the course then winding through surrounding roads and leading back to the Colac Secondary College oval, where the event will conclude. Here, there will be live music and informative healthy living stalls.

Colac is a growing community and has some wonderful sporting facilities and programs in place, but in my opinion they are not being utilised enough. Child obesity levels are rising at an alarming rate and as technology becomes a bigger part of society, sedentary levels are increasing across ALL age groups at alarming rates. Colac's large number of fast food outlets also contributes. This festival will allow Colac to showcase all the sporting opportunities that are available, educate the community on healthy living choices and encourage people to engage and succeed in a physical challenge with the triathlon event.
