Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a pool swim inside the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, followed by a closed‑road bike circuit that loops around the leafy Albert Park lakeside, offering flat, fast roads and iconic city skyline views. Runners then transition onto a scenic park loop that weaves past the lake, gardens and historic statues, providing a flat but lively finish. All courses are fully marshalled, with aid stations and first‑aid on site, making it an accessible yet motivating experience for athletes of all levels.
