Richie Walker Aquathlon 2021

By Mairaed Crawford

Now in its 35th year, this race is dedicated to the memory of Richie Walker, a promising Cronulla Triathlon Club member who tragically and suddenly passed away due to a heart attack during a race in Tamworth. 


The race is organised and run by volunteers, and the Cronulla Triathlon Club is a not-for-profit organisation that is committed to creating an opportunity for athletes of all abilities to compete against one another in a fun, organised and safe environment. All profits are donated in Richie’s name to The Heart Foundation assisting their research into the causes and cures of heart disease. To date over $100,000 has been donated through the RWA.

Heart disease remains Australia’s biggest killer, claiming 48 lives every day. Your donation will help the Heart Foundation to transform Australia’s heart health by:

  • funding life-changing heart research

  • supporting health professionals working to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease

  • providing heart-healthy programs and resources for everyday Australians.

Thank you for your support.
