About the race
The WSTC Triathlon Series Race 5 takes place at the Altona Beach foreshore and follows the triathlon order of Swim, Bike and Run. Run courses use the Altona foreshore path and the bike leg traverses the full length of the Esplanade. The event offers multiple race formats with age-specific minimums and different entry fees for WSTC members, Triathlon Australia members and non-members.
Distances offered:
- Sprint: 750m swim / 18.75km bike / 5km run
- Enticer: 400m swim / 12.5km bike / 3km run

Minimum ages listed include Sprint 14 or 16 (document contains both; entrants should note the specified minimum per entry type), Enticer 12, Dash 10 (200m swim for 10–11 year olds). Registration is handled in the club rooms; pre-registered athletes collect bibs and timing chips, while on-the-day entries are accepted with cash or card and a completed waiver. Registration is typically available about one hour before the event to allow time for transition setup. Race briefings generally start 15 minutes before the advertised commencement and the Race Director will outline course details and safety information. Ongoing foreshore infrastructure works may require course or lap changes; gallery photos are usually uploaded within 48 hours and results are posted on the club website after the event. Club members are expected to volunteer at least once per season, with the option to nominate a substitute to fulfill the duty. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
