Quick Facts
Getting There
WA Athletics Stadium is located on Stephenson Avenue, Mount Claremont, approximately 8km west of Perth CBD. Ample parking is available at the venue. Public transport options include bus routes along Stephenson Avenue and Scarborough Beach Road. Plan to arrive at least 60-90 minutes before your wave start time to allow for registration, transition setup, and pre-race briefing. Car pooling is encouraged as parking may be busy during peak wave times.
Weather & What to Pack
Early November in Perth typically brings pleasant spring conditions with temperatures ranging from 15-25°C. Expect mild mornings warming to comfortable racing temperatures by mid-morning. Perth's low humidity and predominantly sunny weather create ideal triathlon conditions, though occasional spring showers are possible. The pool swim eliminates concerns about water temperature. Wear sun protection including sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cap or visor for the bike and run legs. Start hydrating well before race day and take advantage of on-course water stations.
