Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a refreshing swim in the calm waters of the West Lakes Aquatic Reserve, framed by the marina and native wetlands. Athletes then transition to a fast, flat bike leg that loops along Bower Road and the picturesque lakefront parklands, providing uninterrupted views of the shoreline and Adelaide skyline. The final run follows well‑maintained, sealed pathways that wind around the lakes, offering a breezy, spectator‑friendly finish. While the course is largely flat, subtle undulations and open water conditions add just enough challenge to keep competitors engaged and motivated.
Getting There
The event is held at the Aquatic Reserve on Bower Rd in West Lakes, South Australia. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations, please visit the official Pushing Limits website or contact the organisers directly.
Weather & What to Pack
February is summer in South Australia, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 25 °C to 35 °C and plenty of sunshine. Expect warm, potentially humid conditions, so wear lightweight, breathable clothing, a well‑ventilated helmet, and bring a hat or visor for sun protection. Hydration is crucial – drink water and electrolyte drinks before, during and after the race, and consider a wetsuit if you’re comfortable in warm water.
