End of an era for the Sparke Helmore Newcastle City Triathlon

After 32 years of sponsoring the Sparke Helmore Newcastle City Triathlon, the decision has been made that the 2025 event was our last.  After many years running this event the organiser, H Events has decided to call time on the Triathlon to focus on other regional events in their sporting calendar. We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved over that time, with tens of thousands of athletes having taken part in what has been a wonderful Newcastle community event, bringing people together – both Sparkies and athletes – from all around Australia

Newcastle Local Managing Partner Emma Gruschka, said, ‘I’d like to take his opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved either as a competitor or volunteer over the years.  I wanted to give a special shout out to the many members of our Triathlon Committee for their tireless work in bringing the event to life and giving so much joy to everyone who takes part.’

Emma continued, ‘We’ve valued our partnership with H Events, who have delivered the Triathlon to an exceptional standard for the Newcastle community for more than 20 years. We also extend our sincere thanks to the Triathlon community, local businesses, clients and participants for their support and collaboration over many successful years.’

As we look to the future, we have decided to take a step back and consider where our support for the community can have the most impact.
