About the race
The Bendigo Triathlon Series event uses a multi-lap format with distinct swim, bike and run legs held around Eaglehawk and Canterbury Park.
Swims take place in the Eaglehawk YMCA 50 m indoor pool. Competitors swim multiple laps in the same lane and keep their own lap count before leaving poolside for a short run to transition.
The ride is a 3.75 km loop on open roads that includes some hills. Marshals with flags and radios are stationed at every corner. Riders complete multiple laps of this circuit to achieve each race distance. All types of bikes are permitted, including road, triathlon, mountain and commuter/hybrid bikes.
The run is a flat, approximately 1 km loop on the footpath around Lake Neangar. Multiple laps are required to complete each course before entering the finishing chute.
Four adult race options are offered with specified swim, bike and run totals:
- Long course: 400 m swim, 15 km ride, 4.4 km run
- Short course: 200 m swim, 7.5 km ride, 2.2 km run
- Enticer: 100 m swim, 3.75 km ride, 1.1 km run
A separate kids race uses a unique, contained course held entirely within the Canterbury Gardens complex after the pool swim. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
