Course Description

The race launches from Crawford Park on the beautiful Bargara foreshore. Competitors dive into a warm tropical ocean swim along the sandy beach before transitioning to a flat, closed‑road bike circuit that hugs the coastline. The run follows the picturesque shoreline, offering sea breezes and panoramic views of the Coral Sea. The Sprint distance (750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run) provides a solid challenge, while shorter GIAT and junior formats keep the event family‑friendly. Transition zones open at 6:00 am, and the course is fully supported with water stations and medical aid, ensuring a safe and enjoyable day for all participants.

The event is held at Crawford Park in the coastal town of Bargara, Queensland. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations, please refer to the official event website or contact the Bargara Triathlon Club directly.

Stay hydrated and consider a light waterproof layer in case of a coastal breeze.
