Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off at Collins Beach, where athletes complete a 375‑metre (Enticer) or 750‑metre (Sprint) swim in calm harbour waters. After a short 2‑km walk to transition, you’ll mount your bike and ride the newly resurfaced North Scenic Drive – a smooth, mostly flat road that hugs the coastline, delivering spectacular sea vistas at every turn. The bike leg is 12 km for the Enticer or 21 km for the Sprint, followed by a quick 2‑km T1 run back to the start area and a final 2.5 km (Enticer) or 5 km (Sprint) run along the same scenic route, finishing at Collins Beach. The course is fast, spectator‑friendly and perfect for personal bests.
Getting There
The race is held at North Fort, North Head in Manly. Arrive early to set up your bike in the transition area and walk the 2 km to the swim start at Collins Beach. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival times, please refer to the official event website or contact the Warringah Triathlon Club directly.
