"It was our last race of the series and what a day it was," the IsaRATs said. "Great conditions (even a bit cold) and plenty of people racing gearing up for Julia Creek."
Joshua Brook won the open male event in 1:01:41, a full minute ahead of Ben Alcorn.
Kim Alcorn did one better winning the open female event in 1:10:04 ahead of Clare Lehman in 1:23:29.
Alana Thinee won the enticer event in 0:42:46 while Megan Agendorff won the 10-12 years in 0:24:20.
In the 5-9 years category Lachlan Bindley was first in the 75m swim, 2km bike and and 500m run in 0:14:52 while Toby Grummitt won the 25m swim, 2km bike and 500m run in 0:15:43.
The IsaRATs thanked all the volunteers and the committee saying without them none of this could happen.
"Well done to all the series winners and our lucky entrants and volunteers for each race as well as the motivation and inspiration awards," they said.
"Hope you all enjoyed the series and are now fully prepped for the Dirt n Dust triathlon this weekend."
The RATs will taper off their Dirt N Dust training with one final 60 minute bike ride Thursday night from the Irish Club at 5.30pm.
The IsaRATs are counting down to their new duathlon series (cycling and running) in May and June so keep an eye out for details.
The June 23 duathlon will be part of the 2019 Glencore Great Western Games.
Meanwhile preparations continue in Julia Creek for the 25th Dirt N Dust.
One of the innovations this year is the Lorna Jane Adventure Trail Run.
Starting from Dirt n Dust Central, organisers promise will be the most scenic flattest country course you have ever run "especially if there has been rain". There will also be 13 country style obstacles on each loop.
There are three events on the Saturday morning.
7.30am 16km advanced, 7.50am 11km intermediate, 8.15am start - 5.5km - beginner standard, junior, corporate.
