Portarlington Triathlon
The Portarlington Triathlon is a sprint-distance triathlon on the Bellarine Peninsula featuring a 500 m swim, an 18 km bike and a 5 km run. The swim starts from the sand at Pier St Beach and finishes with a short traverse along the foreshore footpath to the transition area at Portarlington Beach Parking.
The bike leg leaves transition at the mount line, follows the Esplanade east to Coach Road, includes a turnaround and is repeated for a second lap to complete the 18 km course. Bikes are racked in transition at the event village in Portarlington Beach Parking.
The run follows the Portarlington foreshore path toward Indented Head, doubles back at the water station in front of Seaforth Reserve, and finishes beneath a finish-line arch adjacent to the foreshore.
Race format and entry details include open elite, para multiclass, age-group categories from 13 years and up, team divisions and a kids category for ages 7–12 with guardian purchase. Entries are non-refundable once processed; transfers are allowed until December 11, 2026, for a fee. The swim uses a rolling start with self-seeding: small groups released at short intervals, and swimmers are required to keep buoys to their right.
