Event Details
About This Event
Experience a coastal multisport festival at Crawford Park, Bargara. With triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, fun runs and junior events, athletes of all ages and abilities can race, train and celebrate together.
Course Description
The festival courses wind through Crawford Park’s flat, paved circuits before spilling onto Bargara’s beachfront promenade. Swimmers launch from the calm ocean inlet for a 1500‑metre open‑water swim, while cyclists enjoy semi‑closed coastal roads with sea breezes. Runners follow a scenic, mostly road route that loops past palm‑lined foreshore and parkland pathways. Junior courses feature short wade sections and easy bike loops, making the day family‑friendly and accessible for all skill levels.
Quick Facts
Getting There
Crawford Park is located off Fred Courtice Avenue, Bargara. Free on‑site parking is available adjacent to the park (no charge). Public buses run from Bundaberg to the Bargara Centre stop, a 5‑minute walk to the start line. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your wave to allow time for check‑in and gear set‑up.
Weather & What to Pack
August is winter in Queensland, bringing mild temperatures of 12‑20°C with low humidity and occasional sea breezes. Expect mostly sunny skies with a chance of light rain. Dress in layers – a long‑sleeve wetsuit for the swim, a lightweight jacket for the bike, and breathable running gear. Stay hydrated, but you won’t need heavy water supplies in the cooler weather.
