TRIMOB was established in 2020 to breakdown barriers and provide a safe space for Mob to give the sport of Triathlon a go. Founded by Nat Heath, who had participated in the sport since 2011 and was the IRONMAN Australian Age Group champion in 2015 , he identified that the sport was exclusive rather than inclusive to First Nations people.  

In 2021 TRIMOB became a registered nationally based triathlon club and was growing more interest and traction from Mob and the triathlon community, with our own unique apparel range showcasing First Nations cultures and artists that allowed Mob and cuzzins of the Mob (allies) to celebrate who we are whilst swimming, cycling and running.

However it was in the later part of 2022 that the next ideation of TRIMOB was formed. Nat decided to create a program that supported Mob to complete the hardest one day sporting event in the world an IRONMAN. It was this vision that led to TRIMOB's first initiative the IRONMOB program.  

To turn this vision into reality Nat quit his job and sold his house to fund the 14 month program and TRIMOB established itself in 2023 as a registered not-for-profit charity and began the journey to change what is possible for the Mob and the landscape of First Nations people being visible and heard in the triathlon community across Australia.  

FOR THE MOB
Our actions and movements are to benefit & empower the Mob
‍
BY THE MOB
Our organisation is always Mob led and driven.We design, create, action and decide our movements and future.
‍
UP THE MOB
Is our spirit, our essence, our standards. It is three simple words that embody our movement of who we are and what we do; ‘empower the Mob’ and all are welcome to join the movement.

For too long, First Nations representation in endurance sports like triathlon has been almost invisible. TRIMOB is changing this by providing access, support, and pathways for our Mob to take on some of the toughest endurance challenges in the world. Through programs like IRONMOB, we have already  the number of First Nations athletes who have completed an IRONMAN—proving that when barriers are removed, the Mob rise.
‍
In reviewing that data of IRONMOB athletes we have seen physical health improvements increase between 4-7 times and a reduction in resting heart rate and increase in Vo2 max proving that with the right support, guidance, and determination, transformation is possible. Our training approach ensures gradual, sustainable improvements, leading to long-term health benefits. However it's the social and cultural wellbeing impacts that we know that play a pivotal role in our Mob's long term health. TRIMOB is about community and team and bringing each other up. After the Mob have come together they leave with their cup full and more pride in who they are and what they are apart of.
