Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a multiple‑lap swim in the Eaglehawk YMCA 50 m indoor pool, keeping you warm and focused. The bike leg is a 3.75 km road circuit with gentle hills; athletes complete four laps for the Long Course, two for the Short, and a single lap for the Enticer. The run follows a flat, well‑maintained 1 km footpath circling Lake Neangar, with four laps for the Long, two for the Short and one for the Enticer. Kids enjoy a safe, traffic‑free loop around the lake and a grassy finish. The course offers clear signage, marshals at every corner and a supportive community atmosphere.
