Event Details
Course Description
The Dash & Splash duathlon takes place entirely within the Broome Recreation & Aquatic Centre. Participants choose the Short Course (2 km run on the centre’s track or paved paths, then a 200 m swim in the heated pool) or the Long Course (4 km run and a 400 m pool swim). The run sections are flat and well‑maintained, making pacing easy, while the pool provides a controlled swimming environment free of currents. The event welcomes solo athletes, duos, junior pairings and parent‑child teams, giving everyone a chance to test speed and endurance in a supportive indoor setting.
Getting There
The race is hosted at the Broome Recreation & Aquatic Centre in the heart of Broome, WA. For details on parking, public transport options and recommended arrival times, please visit the official event page on the Shire of Broome website.
