The swim takes place in the Mirani Swim Centre pool and swim aids are permitted. The bike course is described as flat and out-and-back, and the run is an out-and-back loop with a water station at the 1 km turn. Transition procedures and safety measures are specified, including helmet rules, mount and dismount lines, and bike racking in ITU-style or traditional racks. Timing bands are used for results and must be returned after the race.
A multi-week Women’s Training Squad runs in the lead-up to the event; expressions of interest open in the months before the race and places are limited. Mackay Triathlon Club also offers weekly swim, bike and run squad sessions for members to prepare. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
