All up 44 racers competed over three distances on the day.

The highlight of the day was the surprise appearance of one of Australia's most successful athletes, Michael Milton, to present awards to all competitors at the end of the races.

Milton was in Dubbo visiting relatives and took the opportunity to allow his daughter Matilda compete in the junior triathlons on the day.

He is a winter and summer paralympic who has won six gold, three silver and two bronze medals achieved across a variety of skiing and cycling events.

He also holds the world record for completing a marathon on crutches and has twice walked the Kokoda track and climbed Mount Kilamanjaro.

In the junior short course event, 18 competitors competed over a swim across the little pool, 400m ride and 400m run.

In the girls Imogen Fuller, Isabella Sinclair and Makayla Fuller all raced very quickly and had some very fast times while Audrey Cook, Zali Porter and Ava Sutcliffe all had strong races.

The boys in the junior race were lead home by Alex Maas, Billy Hing and Patrick Edwards.

Matthew May, Sam Hargreaves, Harry Cavanagh, Tom Maas and Finn Sutcliffe also did well in the race.

In the junior long course, 12 competitors competed over a 50m swim, 1km bike ride and 800m run.
