Course Description

Swim- 400m

Wave starts starting on Elwood beach. Swim straight out (100m) to the large yellow buoy, turn right across (150m) to the second large buoy, turn right in 50m then a diagonal back to the swim finish. If you ever get into any trouble raise your arm in the air for help.

Swim To Cycle Transition

At the completion of the swim leg,  run back up the beach under the swim finish arch and follow the chute and directions of the course marshals to the Bike Compound. Take your bike to the Beach Road side of the compound and proceed under the Bike Exit sign before mounting your bike.

Cycle - 10km

Please stay to the left unless overtaking. Proceed north to the Nimmo Street turnaround, follow the directions of the course marshals and complete the cycle leg back to the venue. At all times be aware of the other cyclists around you.

Safety is of the utmost importance. TAKE CARE.

Drafting is Cheating! - A space of four bike lengths must be left between all riders. The draft marshals will be strict and a 2 minute penalty will apply for any infringements. 

Cycle To Run Transition

At the completion of the cycle leg, dismount your bike and follow the chute into the Bike Compound. Rack your bike before removing your helmet and preparing for the run leg. Follow the directions to the Run Exit and out onto the run course.

Run - 4km

The run course takes participants around the oval and across the car park to the Beach House Café and onto the bike path which you will follow to the turnaround at the Elwood Canal. Follow the pedestrian footpath around Point Ormond and back to the venue.

Team Transition & Finish

Runners will return along the beach and will join swimmers coming out of the water. Be sure to run down the run chute rather than with the swimmers. Then cross the car park to the team transition area where team member 2 will exchange the timing band. Please ensure the band is put on properly so it doesn’t fall off.

Team members 2 and 3 follow the same course, except that team member 3 goes past the Team Transition to the main finish to record the total team finish time!

Please remember the emphasis is on safety and fun!

Important notes for the cycle & run leg:

  • Beach Road will be closed to traffic.
  • Take care when you exit and enter the bike compound.
  • Stay left, unless overtaking.
  • Slow down when you have to U-turn.
  • Ride carefully and safely at all times.
