Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a 400‑metre sand‑launch swim at Fisherman's Beach, then athletes transition to the bike leg at Elephant Walk Village. Riders head north along the Esplanade, loop past Horseshoe Bend Road, turn onto Sands Blvd and complete two coastal laps that showcase Torquay's dramatic shoreline. The 4‑km run follows the beachfront path toward Point Danger, doubles back at the water station by the Surf Life Saving Club and finishes under the iconic arch. The course blends beach, road and scenic foreshore, delivering both challenge and breathtaking views.
