Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a short 375‑m (Enticer) or 750‑m (Sprint) swim at Collins Beach, followed by a brisk 2‑km walk to the North Fort transition area. From there, cyclists ride the newly resurfaced North Scenic Drive – a flat, fast road course with panoramic views of Sydney Harbour. After the bike leg (12 km for Enticer, 21 km for Sprint) athletes return to the Fort for a 2‑km T1 run before heading to the finish line for a 2.5 km (Enticer) or 5 km (Sprint) run along the shoreline. The course is well‑marked, marshalled and designed for a quick, scenic race experience.
Getting There
The event is held at North Fort, North Head in Manly. Parking and public‑transport options are not detailed on the race page, so please check the official Warringah Triathlon Club website or contact the organisers for the latest information. Aim to arrive early for the 5:30 am transition opening and to complete registration before 5:55 am.
Weather & What to Pack
April in Sydney is autumn, with typical daytime highs around 24 °C and overnight lows near 15 °C. Expect mild, mostly dry conditions and occasional light showers. Dress in layers – a breathable shirt, light jacket and a hat or sunglasses for sun. Stay hydrated; even moderate temperatures can dehydrate you during a triathlon.
