About the race
The Beach House Hotel Hervey Bay 100 is a triathlon-style endurance event held along the Hervey Bay foreshore, using Scarness Park as the race expo and finish precinct. The event configuration listed for 2026 is a 2 km swim, an 80 km bike and an 18 km run.
Course format and location details:
- 2 km swim accessed from the beach opposite Maddigans at Tavistock Street, swum anti-clockwise/westerly.
