Event Details
About This Event
The Event Crew triathlon and multisport event in Queensland. Professional event management with well-organized transitions and timing for athletes of all abilities.
Course Description
The Moreton Bay Multisport Festival offers a stunning bayside setting at Pelican Park, Clontarf. The triathlon features a safe, protected swim in the calm waters of Moreton Bay, followed by a fast, scenic ride across the iconic Ted Smout Bridge with sweeping water views. Athletes then complete a flat foreshore run along the Hornibrook Esplanade. The Saturday running festival takes advantage of perfect twilight conditions and cooler evening temperatures on a flat, accessible course. With well-organised transitions, clear lap-based courses, and spectacular bay views throughout, this event caters to athletes of all abilities from first-timers to seasoned competitors across multiple distance options.

Weather & What to Pack
May in Queensland offers ideal racing conditions with mild autumn temperatures. Expect daytime maximums around 23-25°C and morning lows of 13-15°C, perfect for both the Saturday twilight running events and Sunday morning triathlon. The Moreton Bay location typically provides refreshing bayside breezes. Humidity is moderate compared to summer months. Swimmers should expect water temperatures around 20-22°C - wetsuits are optional but recommended for warmth and buoyancy. Apply sunscreen as UV levels remain moderate, and bring layers for pre-race warmth. Hydration remains important despite the cooler conditions, particularly for longer distances.

Classic and Club distance athletes must complete check-in by 6:00 AM and bike racking by 6:10 AM. Enticer and Kids participants have until 7:05 AM for check-in and 7:15 AM for bike racking.
Do I need a wetsuit for the swim?
Wetsuits are optional for all triathlon and aquabike distances at Moreton Bay. The protected bay conditions make for a comfortable swim, though many athletes choose to wear wetsuits for added buoyancy and warmth in May water temperatures.
Are there cut-off times I need to know about?

What do Pho3nix Kids participants receive?

Can I access transition during the event?
Only competitors are allowed in the transition area. For Pho3nix Kids events, one parent per child may enter transition during setup and pack down only, but not during the event. Do not jump transition fences as this leads to disqualification. Wait for the official announcement before collecting your bike after finishing.
