About the race
The course combines an indoor pool swim, an on-road bike leg, and a flat run around Lake Neangar, with multiple laps of each as required to complete the chosen distance. 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, then run a short distance to the transition area.
The ride uses a 3.75 km loop on public roads that includes some hills. Marshals with flags and radios are stationed at every corner. Riders complete multiple laps to cover the event distance. All bike types are permitted including road, triathlon, mountain, and commuter or hybrid bikes.
The run is an approximately 1 km flat loop on the footpath around Lake Neangar. Competitors complete the required number of loops before entering the finishing chute.
A kids race uses a course held completely within the Canterbury Gardens complex after a pool swim, designed to be unique and safe.
