Course Description

The race kicks off from the Whiting Beach Car Park, where participants launch into an ocean swim along the pristine shoreline. After the swim, athletes transition to a shared‑road cycling leg that weaves through the coastal town, offering gentle climbs and flat sections. The run returns to the beach, taking you along the sand with panoramic views of the lighthouse and Yamba township. The course combines beach, road and light trail sections, providing both scenic beauty and a moderate challenge suitable for a wide range of abilities.
