Event Details
Course Description
The Eltham TRI Start of Season race begins at the Eltham Leisure Centre, where athletes complete a short pool swim before heading out on mostly flat, paved roads that wind through the suburb’s parkland and quiet streets. The bike leg showcases gentle rolling terrain and scenic views of local bushland, while the run follows a similarly flat, well‑marked route that finishes back at the centre. Ideal for newcomers, the course offers a supportive atmosphere and easy navigation.
Getting There
The race is hosted at Eltham Leisure Centre in the suburb of Eltham, north‑east of Melbourne. For detailed parking information, public transport options and recommended arrival times, please visit the official event page or contact the venue directly. Arriving early will give you plenty of time to set up and warm up.
Weather & What to Pack
November in Victoria is spring, with mild to warm days and occasional showers. Expect temperatures between 15 °C and 25 °C, moderate humidity and plenty of sunshine. Dress in layers – a wetsuit or swim cap for the swim, a lightweight jersey for the bike, and breathable running gear. Stay hydrated and carry a small bottle for the run, as temperatures can rise quickly.
