About the race
Mooloolaba Triathlon is a standard-distance triathlon held in Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. The event uses a beach swim start, a coastal run course along the Esplanade, and an out-and-back bike course along the Sunshine Coast Motorway.
The race distances are:

The swim is a 1500 m flag-shaped course that starts from the eastern end of Mooloolaba Main Beach and runs anti-clockwise with a first turn buoy at about 350 metres. The bike is a 40 km out-and-back course with a short climb out to the motorway, a turnaround at 20 km, and a return to transition on mostly flat sealed roads. The run is a two-lap clockwise route along coastal sections of the Esplanade offering coastal views.
