Hi and Kia ora!

Welcome to the August newsletter of the 2nd AsiaPacific Outgames.

First up, congratulations to all the participants at the recent Cologne Gay Games. Well done on all the personal bests, the Games records, and being part of it.

Triathlon confirmed

We are delighted to confirm that triathlon will be the 17th competitive sport at the next AsiaPacific Outgames. The location is a popular and proven harbourside route in the city and there are several options for participation. Triathlon will be held on Saturday March 12, letting triathletes relax and enjoy all the other Outgames attractions after their event. Registration for triathlon will be open on our website within the next 10 days. If you are keen, don't leave it too late - this event will fill up quickly.

We are still working to add football (soccer) to the programme. We'll announce this on our website once it is confirmed.
