Course Description

The Kiama Triathlon showcases the town’s stunning coastline, with the swim taking place in the calm waters of Kiama Harbour and the bike leg winding along the Pacific Highway, offering panoramic ocean views and gentle rolling hills. The run follows a scenic route past the iconic Kiama Blowhole and local beaches, providing a mix of flat sections and light undulations that test endurance while keeping the atmosphere festive. Spectators line the shoreline, creating a lively backdrop for athletes of all abilities.

Getting There

Kiama sits about 120 km south of Sydney in the Illawarra region and is easily reached via the Princes Highway. The town has several caravan parks and local parking areas; for exact venue directions, parking options and public transport details, please visit the official event website or contact Elite Energy directly. Arrive early to allow time for registration and pre‑race preparations.

Weather & What to Pack

May in Kiama is late autumn, with daytime highs around 20 °C and overnight lows near 12 °C. Expect mild, dry conditions and plenty of sunshine, making layered clothing ideal – a light jacket for the swim and bike, plus a warm top for the run if it gets breezy. Stay hydrated, but you won’t need heavy cooling gear.
