Event Details
Course Description
The Classic course begins at 8 am on Seaworld Drive in Main Beach. Teams of two will navigate a secret route that combines a 5‑7 km run along golden coastal paths, a 10‑12 km mountain‑bike leg on flat gravel and occasional single‑track, and a 3 km kayak paddle across nearby waterways. The terrain is mostly flat and mixed, offering beach views, lush hinterland scenery and open water. Transition zones open at 7 am, giving you time to set up gear and review your map before the start. All fitness levels are welcome; the course is designed to be accessible yet adventurous, with checkpoints that test navigation skills without strict cut‑offs.
Getting There
The race starts at Seaworld Drive in the Main Beach suburb of the Gold Coast. Participants should plan to arrive with enough time to collect their race kit, map and set up at the transition area, which opens at 7 am. For parking options, public transport routes and exact arrival recommendations, refer to the official event website.
