Torquay Triathlon
The Torquay Triathlon is a sprint-distance race held along Torquay coastline with a swim, bike and run format. The course consists of the following distances:
- 400 m swim
- 15 km bike
- 4 km run
The swim starts on the sand at Fishermans Beach, proceeds along a 400 m course and exits up the boat ramp into transition at Elephant Walk Village. A rolling swim start is used, with swimmers self-seeding; small groups are released at short intervals and swimmers are instructed to keep buoys on their right.
The bike course leaves the transition area and follows the Esplanade north, turning at Horseshoe Bend Road, passing Sands Boulevard and using the coastal roads near Torquay. The route includes two laps along the coastline and requires riders to follow roundabout and traffic cautions before returning to transition.
The run follows the Torquay Front Beach path toward Point Danger, doubling back at a water station near Torquay Surf Life Saving Club and finishing under the event arch at the Event Village.
Entry categories include Open Elite, Para Multiclass, multiple Age Group bands from 13 years upward, team categories and a kids division for ages 7 to 12 with guardian entry. Entries are non-refundable; transfers are allowed for a fee up to a date specified in race materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
