Course Description

The Nepean Triathlon courses weave around the world‑class lake and flat circuits of the Sydney International Regatta Centre. Swimmers launch from the warm‑water lake, cyclists enjoy smooth, wide roads with gentle undulations, and runners finish on a scenic, mostly flat loop alongside the Nepean River. The Classic course tests endurance over 2 km, 60 km and 18 km, while shorter formats keep the action fast and fierce. Spectators can watch from multiple viewing points, and the venue’s open layout makes it easy to follow the race from start to finish.

Getting There

From Sydney CBD, follow the M4 west to the Castlereagh Road exit and continue to the Sydney International Regatta Centre signage. On‑site parking is plentiful and free. Penrith train station is a 10‑minute bus ride away; several local buses also serve the venue. Arrive at least one hour before your start time to collect your race pack and complete the briefing.
