Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a 200‑m (short) or 400‑m (long) swim in the Rutherglen pool, followed by a road‑based bike leg of 10 km (short) or 20 km (long) that winds through the town’s quiet streets and surrounding countryside. The run finishes with a 3 km (short) or 6 km (long) loop around the scenic Rutherglen Park and Recreation Reserve, offering gentle terrain, tree‑lined paths and views of nearby vineyards. Transition areas are set up at the park, providing easy access to bike racks and changing facilities. Kids’ triathlons use shorter swim, bike and run distances on the same safe, family‑friendly routes.
