Australia Day Triathlon : Point Walter, Bicton
The Australia Day Triathlon is organised by the Fremantle Triathlon Club at Point Walter Reserve in Bicton. The event is held on the Swan River foreshore and includes swimming in the river, a bike course along Burke Drive that uses laps, and an out-and-back run along the river path.
The event offers three race options:
- Sprint Triathlon with a 750m swim, 21km bike, 5km run
- Fun Triathlon with a 400m swim, 7km bike, 2.5km run
- Teams Sprint with a 750m swim, 21km bike, 5km run
The swim takes place between Point Walter Jetty and the boat ramp with the Sprint following a rectangular loop and the Fun course running parallel to shore. The bike route follows Honour Avenue, Carroll Avenue and Burke Drive with each lap being 7.0 km and includes the ascents and descents of Point Walter Hill. The run is an out-and-back along the walk and cycle path toward Perth with marked turnaround points.
Facilities at the reserve include parking along Honour Avenue, toilets and showers near the cafe and boat ramp, and BBQs and picnic areas on the foreshore. Categories are separated by gender and by age groups with minimum ages of 12 for the Fun distance and 14 for the Sprint. Event rules require swim caps, helmets on the bike, visible race numbers, and no support crews in race areas. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
