In 1990 Alan and Shirley Voss called for a meeting of interested people to set up a triathlon club on the Redcliffe Peninsula, through an advertisement in the local paper. From that meeting the Redcliffe Triathlon Club was formed. Since then a dedicated group of people has continued to help the club grow to what it is today. These people include Alan Voss (who was the club's first president), Don Gray, Peter Adriaansen, Ken Adriaansen (who held the job as president for 9 years), along with many others who worked hard behind the scenes. Alan was to later become the president of Triathlon Queensland and was instrumental in initiating numerous policies and procedures within the sport, a key element in the progression of the sport's popularity and recognition.

The club has enjoyed a steady growth of membership over the past 13 years, from the club's initial membership of 6 to a current membership of over 180 members.

In the early years the Redclife Triathlon Club was host to numerous races including the State Aquathon Championship (twice), All-Schools Triathlon Championship, All-Schools Duathlon Championship and the State's first Junior Duathlon series which ran for 9 years.

Over the past 17 years the club has produced many great athletes who have been selected for Regional, State, and National Championships at School, Junior, Youth and Senior level, in events such as Aquathlon, Duathlon & Triathlon, from short distance events to the Hawaiian Ironman.

Today the club offers variety for everyone, from beginners to seasoned triathletes, from sprint to Ironman. 2003 was an exciting year, as the club has produced a record number of Ironman competitors, with 23 attempting the gruelling event.

The future of the Redcliffe Triathlon Club looks bright as an ever expanding number of juniors join our extensive junior training program.

Hopefully the club will continue to grow for many years to come and help the sport of triathlon increase its popularity.
