Event Details
Course Description
Racers will start with a swim along the pristine waters of Seven Mile Beach, taking advantage of the gentle summer sea conditions. The bike leg follows a flat, coastal road circuit that loops through the Day Use Area 2 precinct, providing clear signage and minimal traffic. The final run returns to the beach, allowing participants to finish on the soft sand or nearby paved path, depending on the chosen distance. Course layouts vary for the Standard, Sprint, Enticer, Kids, Duathlon and Aquabike formats, but all share the same scenic backdrop of golden sands, rolling dunes and Tasmanian coastal views, making for a memorable race day.
Getting There

Participants are advised to arrive early to allow time for registration, gear set‑up and a warm‑up. For exact parking zones, bus routes or any road closures, please refer to the official website or call the organisers.
