Thanks for your understanding. 10.  Parents of juniors, we have a number of kids tri tops and tri shorts available.  Your NT Sports Vouchers can be used for these.   PIC OF THE WEEK: Our new club trailer has arrived thanks to funding received via Dept Sport & Recreation Cheers, Robyn Robyn Stanley E News Darwin Triathlon Club  WEBSITE
