Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a short swim at Collins Beach, set within the protected waters of Sydney Harbour. After a 2 km walk to the transition area at North Fort, athletes mount their bikes for a flat, fast ride along the newly resurfaced North Scenic Drive, offering panoramic harbour views. The run follows the same scenic road, keeping the course quick and traffic‑free. Both the Enticer (375 m swim, 12 km bike, 2.5 km run) and Sprint (750 m swim, 21 km bike, 5 km run) feature a supportive club vibe, clear signage and professional timing.
Getting There
The event is held at North Head in the suburb of Manly, Sydney. Parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations are detailed on the official race website, so please check there for the latest information and plan to arrive early for check‑in and transition set‑up.
