Event Details
Course Description
The City of Joondalup Mullaloo Triathlon showcases Perth's stunning northern beaches with a point-to-point course from Mullaloo Beach to Hillary's and back. The swim leg takes place in the protected waters of Mullaloo Beach at Tom Simpson Park, offering relatively calm conditions. The bike course heads south along the coastal road towards Hillary's Boat Harbour before returning north, featuring mostly flat terrain with some gentle undulations and potential crosswinds. The run leg follows the picturesque coastal path, providing ocean views and a supportive atmosphere. With seven distance options including bolt, sprint, and standard distances, plus aquabike, duathlon, and open water swim categories, this WA State Championship event caters to athletes of all abilities from juniors to elite competitors.

Getting There
Tom Simpson Park is located on Oceanside Promenade in Mullaloo, approximately 25km north of Perth CBD. Take Mitchell Freeway north, exit at Ocean Reef Road, and follow signs to Mullaloo Beach. Street parking is available along Oceanside Promenade and surrounding streets, though arrive early as spaces fill quickly on race morning. Public transport options include Transperth bus routes to Mullaloo. Participants should arrive by 6:00 AM at the latest for registration and transition setup, which opens at 5:45 AM.
Weather & What to Pack
Late March in Perth typically offers ideal conditions for multisport events, with autumn bringing mild temperatures ranging from 17-26°C. Expect warm, dry weather with lower humidity than summer months, though occasional morning cloud cover may occur before clearing. The Indian Ocean water temperature averages around 22-23°C, comfortable for swimming without wetsuits. Morning starts at 7:05 AM mean cooler conditions initially, warming as the day progresses. Apply sunscreen liberally as UV levels remain high, and stay well hydrated throughout your race. Light crosswinds from the southwest are common along this coastal stretch.
