Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a short (375 m) or long (750 m) swim at Collins Beach, followed by a 2 km transition run up the hill to the North Fort transition area. From there athletes tackle a flat, fast bike loop on North Head Scenic Drive – four laps (≈12 km) for the Enticer or seven laps (≈21 km) for the Sprint – offering spectacular harbour views and minimal traffic. The final run returns to the beach: a single 2.5 km lap for Enticer or two 5 km laps for Sprint, finishing with a steep hill finish. The course is well‑marked, non‑drafting, and suited to all skill levels.
Getting There
The event is held at North Head, Manly (Collins Beach) in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. For details on parking, public transport options and exact arrival times, please visit the official race website or contact Warringah Triathlon Club.
