Event Details
Course Description
Starting at the Moana Surf Club on the Esplanade, the race kicks off with an ocean swim in the clear waters off Moana Beach. After the transition zone, athletes embark on a fast, undulating 20 km bike ride that follows the smooth coastal Esplanade, offering sea breezes and panoramic views of Gulf St Vincent. The run finishes on the sandy beachfront, providing a challenging yet rewarding final leg. The Mini (100 m swim, 5 km bike, 1 km run) and Enticer (375 m swim, 10 km bike, 2.5 km run) distances cater to newcomers, while the Sprint (750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run) can also be tackled as a relay team. Transition areas are set up at the club grounds, ensuring a seamless flow.
