Byron Bay’s Tim Reid has won the main event at the Challenge Forster Triathlon Festival, ahead of Wollongong’s David Mainwaring.
Former Port Macquarie local Tim Berkel was hit by a car during the cycle leg – he’s fine but had to withdraw from the race.
Narabeen’s Rebecca Hoschke was the first female across the line.
The gruelling Half Challenge was made up of a 1.9 kilometre swim, a 90 kilometre cycle and a 21-kay run.
Four events were held during the festival at Forster Keys, with 780 competitors from across the country taking part.
