Course Description

The Hexman race begins at the north end of Victoria Park Lake on Tom Collins Drive. Athletes launch into a 650 m open‑water swim in the lake, then transition to a 30 km bike on sealed park roads that wind around the lake and through the surrounding Goulburn Valley countryside. The final 7 km run follows a paved path past river red‑gum forests, offering gentle rolling terrain and lake views. Swimmers enjoy clear water with minimal currents, while cyclists benefit from well‑maintained asphalt and a few gentle climbs that test endurance without technical difficulty. Runners experience a flat to mildly undulating course that finishes back near the lake’s transition zone, where participants can celebrate with fellow athletes.

Getting There

The race starts at Victoria Park Lake in Shepparton, VIC. Parking is available in the surrounding park area and the town’s centre, and local bus services connect the CBD to the lake precinct. The race start is on Tom Collins Drive at the north end of the lake. For exact parking locations, public transport options and recommended arrival times, visit the official event website.

Weather & What to Pack

Mid‑March in Victoria is early autumn, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 15 °C to 25 °C and cooler mornings around 12 °C. Expect mostly sunny skies, though occasional light showers can occur. Dress in layers – a moisture‑wicking shirt, a light jacket for the early start, and shorts or leggings as the day warms. Sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and plenty of water are essential, especially during the 30 km bike leg.
