At H Events we own and manage triathlon, swimming, running, cycling and multi-sport events in the Hunter Region of NSW, Australia. The reasons we have chosen to run events only in this region are simple. We love the Hunter. There is so much diversity in the Hunter Region. From the rolling hills of Wine Country to the cosmopolitan cafes and beaches of Newcastle, from the Mountains of Barrington to lush farmlands of Maitland, you can be sure we will find a venue for a race that suits you.
Below you will find a few new events and a few old ones. We hope these events interest you. Our goal is to create and manage 10 unique participant sporting events in the Hunter that offer enjoyable, safe and challenging courses and venues. We will be adding to this list over the next few months, so stay tuned. For the moment if you want more information about an event, just follow the links. Most of the events have their own web page and you can enter on-line or via hard copy entry forms.
We hope to see you at one of our events in the near future. So stay healthy and fit and we will see you soon.
We have recently partnered up with our friends at realbuzz.com to bring you a H Events forum, training blogs for the races, and exciting route planner.

The event is an out and back run/walk on closed farm roads with great scenery and great scones after the race. Just a couple of hills! Entries only $10 for walkers and $15 for runners. Kids cheaper.

Maitland Triathlon
To be held 12 October 2008 this great regional race is the seasons "first off the rack" for many NSW's triathletes and has been a popular warm up for some Long Course races held up north. The event attracts everyone from World Champs to first timers. In 2008 we will continue our two distances including a 1km or 1.5km Swim, 30km or 55km Ride, 8km or 12km run. A perfect warm up for some longer races this year.
We will also be adding a Saturday afternoon swim and post tri fun run, so now the whole family has a reason to come.
