John Maclean Foundation Relay Event Conditions of Entry
John Maclean Foundation Relay Teams event is sold out.
Ironman Western Australia will once again incorporate the John Maclean Foundation Relay Event into the Ironman race, held on Sunday, December 5, 2010. World Triathlon Corporaton is proud to be partnering with the John Maclean Foundation in 2010 to continue what is a special and worthwhile cause to change the lives of young Australians who use wheelchairs. The foundation, through support and funds raised through the relay event, helps to inspire, motivate and enable these great kids to chase their dreams.
Out of every relay entry fee for Ironman Western Australia in 2010, $150 AUD will be donated to the John Maclean Foundation. For more details on entry, see below.
We hope you will support this fantastic cause at Busselton in December!
