Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a 4 km road run that winds through the historic Art Gallery Road precinct, offering city views and a flat, well‑paved surface perfect for pacing or a casual walk. After completing the loop, participants head straight to the Andrew Boy Charlton Pool for a 300 m swim – six laps in a single lane. The swim is timed and finishes back at the pool entry, where race officials record your hand‑raise. With a clear start‑line, easy‑going terrain and a supportive atmosphere, the course balances a modest running challenge with a refreshing indoor swim, making it ideal for athletes of any level.
Getting There
The event is held at the Andrew Boy Charlton Pool, 1C Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney. Check‑in opens at 5:30 pm, so plan to arrive early to collect your race number and store any valuables in the locker rooms. For parking, public transport and detailed directions, refer to the official event website.
