Chris McCormackCEOMANA Sports and Entertainment Group

My name is Chris McCormack, four-time triathlon worldchampion and passionate advocate of triathlon for over30 years.

We are proud to be partnering with The Event Crew tobring you a new look and renewed focus for the Pho3nixQueensland Triathlon Series and Pho3nix Kids Triathlon.

The Pho3nix Foundation is a non-profit organisationcreated by Polish businessman Sebastian Kulczyk, withthe sole purpose of promoting physical activity as a wayto improve health and wellbeing among children.

The program has expanded from Poland and has launched

with dual Olympic medallist Nicola Spirig in Switzerland, dual Olympic champion AlistairBrownlee through the Brownlee Foundation in the UK, and 7-time world champion JavierGomez in Spain.

As an Australian, I’m pumped to now bring this program to our shores.

Our focus is on keeping Aussie kids outdoors and active, and there’s no better way than toswim, bike and run with their friends.

Check out what we do @pho3nixlife or visit the Pho3nix Foundation website for moreinformation and to donate.

I look forward to seeing you all at the races.
