Wild Dog Triathlon Club (WDTC) was formed in September 1997
when a group of interested athletes got together to train in Warragul.
The
first events held by WDTC were held at Blue Rock Dam at Willow Grove. In 1999
WDTC became co-tenants with the Warragul Tennis Club in what is now our club
rooms in Burke St Warragul.
Having our own club rooms gave members a place to
meet, train and hold races.
In 1999 interest had grown such that the first WDTC
Summer Series was held. Races were held either on Wednesday evenings or Sunday
mornings around the Burke St. precinct. The Summer Series is now held on
Saturday afternoons from late October to mid-March.
The club has hosted a number of Corporate Triathlons, now known as Community Triathlons, with the date decided at the start of each season. Club
members also compete in the various triathlon series and some of the major
Ironman events including the Australian Championships and Hawaii.
