About the race
The WSTC Triathlon Series Race 5 takes place on the Altona Beach foreshore and uses the club rooms at the Western Suburbs Triathlon Club near the corner of the Esplanade and Pier Street. The event follows the swim, bike, run order. Run courses use the Altona foreshore path and the bike leg traverses the full length of the Esplanade. Multiple event formats are offered with age minimums and separate aquathon and aquabike options.
Registration for both pre-registered and on-the-day entries is handled in the club rooms; the club accepts cash and card and requires a completed waiver. Race briefings are held shortly before each event to describe the course and safety details. Results and event photographs are published after the race. Volunteering is required of each member for at least one WSTC event during the season; members may arrange a substitute to fulfill their volunteer obligation.
Infrastructure works on the Altona foreshore may require course or lap changes and possible location adjustments; any changes will be communicated before the event.
