Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a 4km road run that winds through the historic Art Gallery Road precinct, offering views of Sydney's cultural hub and a mostly flat, traffic‑free route. After completing the run, participants head straight to the Andrew Boy Charlton Pool for a 300m swim – six laps in a single lane, timed as you finish each lap. The course is designed for all abilities; walkers are welcome on the run, and the swim is performed in a well‑maintained indoor pool, making it a perfect spring challenge for beginners and seasoned athletes alike.
Getting There
The event is held at Andrew Boy Charlton Pool, 1C Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney. Parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations are provided on the official website. Plan to arrive early to allow time for check‑in (opens 5:30pm) and locker use.
Weather & What to Pack
November is spring in NSW, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 18 °C to 24 °C and mild humidity. Expect mostly sunny conditions with a chance of light showers. Dress in breathable, layered clothing for comfort during the run, and bring a towel and water bottle for the swim. Stay hydrated and consider a light waterproof jacket just in case of rain.
