Event Details
Course Description
Set against the sparkling waters of Raby Bay, the race begins with a gentle 800‑metre (or 300‑metre for the Enticer) swim in a protected harbour, offering calm conditions and scenic views of the Redlands coastline. After the swim, athletes transition to a flat, road‑based bike leg that winds along the coastal promenade, delivering fast, uninterrupted riding through the suburb of Raby Bay. The final run follows the foreshore path, a smooth 6‑kilometre (or 4‑kilometre for the Super Sprint) stretch that showcases sunrise over the bay and breezy sea air. The course is family‑friendly, with clear signage, ample transition areas, and multiple distance options suitable for beginners, seasoned triathletes, and young competitors alike.
