Portarlington Triathlon
The Portarlington Triathlon is a sprint-distance triathlon held as part of the VIC Regional Series on 13 December 2026. The race comprises a beach swim, a two-lap bike course along local roads, and a foreshore run that finishes through a finish-line arch.
Race distances:
- Swim 500m
- Ride 18km
- Run 5km
The swim starts from the sand at Pier St Beach and finishes with a short traverse along the foreshore footpath into Transition 1 at Portarlington Beach Parking. A rolling swim start is used with small groups released in sequence; swimmers are instructed to keep buoys on their right.
The bike leg leaves transition and follows the Esplanade east to Coach Road with a cautious turnaround, completed twice to make up the full distance. The run follows the Portarlington foreshore path toward Indented Head, includes a water station in front of Seaforth Reserve, and returns to the finish arch at the Event Village area.
Entry categories include Open Elite, Para Multiclass, age-group divisions from 13 years upward, team options, and a kids category for ages 7–12 with guardian purchase required. Entries are non-refundable once processed; transfers to another participant are permitted until 11 December 2026 for a fee of $10. Early race pack collection takes place on the day before the race at the Event Village in Portarlington Beach Parking. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
