The Sydney International Regatta Centre will be abuzz next weekend, with several major sporting events taking place.
Held from March 28-30, the 2025 Redline Games will feature a range of urban, water and land-based sports including triathlons, runs, road cycling, dragon boating, YOKHA, yoga, break dancing and more.
But that’s not all!
Australia’s oldest triathlon, the famous Nepean Triathlon, will be part of the Redline Games again this year, marking its 42nd running. The triathlon action doesn’t stop there either, with the Australian Super Sprint Triathlon Championships also being held on Saturday, March 29.
Run by Elite Energy Events, the Redline Games is set to attract a mixed field of participants and spectators from across Sydney, NSW and interstate. The Games are designed to both test the elite and welcome first-timers across a range of traditional and urban sports.
With over 10 events and disciplines across the four event days, it is expected that there will be some fast times and fierce racing.
There is a range of events and activities to cater for those attending for a good time including a health and lifestyle expo, free yoga workshops, breakdancing and much more.
“We are proud to return to Penrith with Redline Games, an event that is inclusive, entertaining and showcases our vibrant sport culture in Australia,” Elite Energy Events CEO, Mark Emerton said.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said Penrith City Council was proud to be a key sponsor of the 2025 Redline Games.
“Penrith is a City that thrives on passion and community, and hosting the Redline Games is a fantastic way for us to showcase our support for sports and an active lifestyle. This event is a celebration not just of competition, but of our vibrant, active community,” he said.
“I’d like to extend my congratulations to all the competitors taking part in the Redline Games. It’s your hard work and dedication that make events like these so inspiring, and we can’t wait to cheer you on.”
Next weekend’s sporting showcase at the Regatta Centre will also feature a brand-new sport, YOHKA, which is said to be taking Australian fitness fanatics by storm.
An Australian-born concept, YOHKA is where fitness racing meets obstacle training, and the International Olympic Committee has already confirmed it as an Olympic event for LA 2028.
The Regatta Centre will host the YOHKA Royale on March 29-30, with events including the YOKA Classic, a 5km obstacle course; the YOHKA Stampede, a 100m sprint obstacle course; and YOHKA Pursuit, a fast-paced game of tag.
“This is probably the toughest 100m most people will ever do. 100m may not sound like much, but with 12 gruelling obstacles designed to test your speed, agility and power, many will be humbled,” Brand Manager and S&C coach, Todd Liubinskas said.
