Training Camp - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What level of fitness do I need to have to take part in a Noosa Tri Camp?

A: It depends on which camp you are looking at, for example our Noosa Tri themed camps (including all women’s camp) ideally your fitness level would be as such being able to at least swim 400m in a pool and be able to run 5km.

For our longer distance camps, having already participated in a half ironman or aiming to complete one in the near future would be a prerequisite we would recommend. Fitness wise be able to swim 2km , cycle 80km and run at least 15km would be recommended.

Q: What type of participants usually attends?

A: There is no particular category of athletes. We have participants of all ages and abilities (majority usually in their first or second season of competing ) In one of our recent Long distance camps we had ages between 25 to 65 years participating and everywhere in between. We cater for all abilities with plenty of support on the longer rides so no need to fear being left behind.

Q: For the longer distance rides, do I have to do the full distance?

A: For the long distance camps we offer shorter ride distances i.e our 180km ride there is an option to only do 90km or 120km

Q: To keep costs to a minimum, I am attending as a single but the cheapest accommodation option offers a 4-share , can I still book this option?

A: Yes providing Noosa Tri camps can match you with 3 other participants otherwise you may have to pay a slightly higher premium. This will be dealt with individually and we make sure we interact with the person well before the camp commences.

Q: I am travelling from interstate and I don’t want to have to bring my own bike, do you have bike hire options?

A: Yes we can organize a bike to fit your size that will be good quality to enable you to fully participate in the camp. Email us for Bike hire rates

Q: I want to participate in the camp but I feel intimidated by rubbing shoulders with “all those fit people” attending….

A: This is a common misconception, the majority of our participants are new to the sport, especially in our Noosa Tri themed/all women’s camps. There is no need to feel like you cant take part in all facets of the camp, we cater to all fitness levels and will adjust the set program to accommodate this.
Prior to the camp a full questionnaire is sent to all participants where we ask specific questions to allow us to sufficiently group you all into various groups matching your ability.

Q: How soon do I have to secure my spot?

A: Our camps do have limited places available. We intentionally aim to keep numbers manageable so your camp experience has more of a personalized feel to it. Therefore making it more exclusive to you. With this in mind we encourage you to pay a deposit sooner rather than later so that your spot is secured and the balance is payable four weeks prior to camp commencing.

Q: Our training group (6 or more) would love to organize our own custom camp, is this something you would be able to offer us?

A: Yes, we offer custom camps for corporate, training groups and Tri clubs, see our testimonials. You get full access to Noosa Tri camps coaches and resources with a number of options available to make your Noosa Tri Camp experience a memorable one.
