Event Details
Course Description
The Champion Lakes Regatta Centre provides a flat, fast and scenic setting for the festival. The 5 km loop of sealed running paths and closed roads circles the lake, offering clear views of water and parkland. The 55 km duathlon follows a 10 km run, a 40 km bike leg and a 5 km run, while the 80 km duathlon expands the bike portion to 60 km and adds a final 10 km run, all on the same flat circuit. The 5 km, 10 km and half‑marathon runs use the same paved routes, making them ideal for beginners and those seeking a quick, supportive race day. Spectators can line the lakeside paths, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere.
