About the race
The Left Bank Triathlon, organised by Fremantle Triathlon Club, is a multisport event held at John Tonkin Reserve and Riverside Road, East Fremantle, along the Swan River. The event offers four options:
- Sprint: 750m swim, 19km bike, 5km run
- Fun: 300m swim, 9.5km bike, 2.5km run
- Aqua bike: 750m swim, 19km bike
- Sprint Teams: 750m swim, 19km bike, 5km run
The swim takes place in the sheltered Swan River; the novice swim is a 300m point-to-point with the tide and the sprint swim is a 750m out-and-back along the John Tonkin Reserve shoreline. The bike course uses closed sections of Riverside and Preston Point Road and is run as 2 or 4 laps of approximately 4.75 km per lap. The run follows Riverside Road with a 2.5 km lap including a short out-and-back on Jerrat Drive.
Transition is on the grass at John Tonkin Reserve. Facilities at the venue include barbecue areas, a children’s playground, a foreshore café and toilets. Categories are age-grouped and open separately to male and female competitors; minimum ages are 12 for the novice distance and 14 for the sprint distance, with age taken from 31 December 2026. Entry fees differ by event and TWA membership status. The Aquabike entry is part of the WA Triathlon State Series and the race counts for double points in the Fremantle Club Championships.
The event follows standard triathlon rules on equipment, swim caps, helmets, visible race numbers and conduct; organisers may combine small categories, reject entries or modify the race for safety or weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
