Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off on the golden sands of One Mile Beach, where athletes dive into a refreshing ocean swim before transitioning onto a flat, fast bike course that hugs the coastal road. The run returns to the beach, delivering a breezy finish with stunning sea views. The course is fully sea‑level, with no technical climbs, making it fast and accessible while still providing the classic triathlon challenge of swim‑bike‑run in a spectacular beach setting.
