Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off at 6:15 am with a 1.9 km rolling start swim off Mooloolaba’s surf beach, heading clockwise around a sheltered eastern stretch and finishing near the start line. Athletes then transition to a flat, rolling bike course that hugs the coastline and local roads, offering quick speeds and plenty of spectator support. The run consists of two laps on the paved Mooloolaba Esplanade, delivering scenic ocean views and a lively crowd cheering you to the finish. Transition zones are located at Parkyn Parade, and the entire course is road‑based and largely flat, making it a friendly yet competitive 70.3 challenge.
