Course Description

The race kicks off with a straight‑line, open‑water swim across the calm lake at Penrith Regatta Centre. After the transition, athletes tackle a flat, closed‑road bike circuit that loops around the venue, providing a fast‑paced but manageable ride. The run follows a smooth, paved path that circles the park, offering scenic views of the water and surrounding greenery. All courses are designed for safety with aid stations, first‑aid staff and clear signage, making it an ideal setting for both newcomers and experienced triathletes seeking a well‑organised summer event.
