Help make a difference
The Busselton Festival of Triathlon (BFOT), entering its 24th year in 2025, is a beloved event for our WA triathlon community. The event relies on the dedication and hard work of our dedicated volunteers to make it happen. Every year, these committed individuals play a vital role in ensuring participants stay happy, healthy and on course.
