The Olympic course is described as testing, with plenty of hills on both the bike and run legs; the short course also includes a notable amount of climbing on the bike. The event has separate youth and kids program elements and provides aquabike options that exclude the run. Results from previous years are recorded and the event has hosted national-level competitions in the past. The organising community seeks volunteer support to stage the event.
