Course Description

The race kicks off with a straight‑line, open‑water swim in the tranquil lake at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, monitored by a safety kayak. After the transition, athletes tackle a flat, paved bike circuit that loops around the regatta grounds, offering wide roads and gentle turns. The run follows on smooth, sealed paths alongside the Nepean River, providing pleasant views and minimal elevation change. Junior races use proportionally shorter swim, bike and run legs on the same safe courses, ensuring a fun, family‑friendly atmosphere throughout the day.

Getting There

The event is held at the Penrith Regatta Centre in the suburb of Penrith, west of Sydney. For parking, public transport options and detailed arrival instructions, please visit the Hills Tri Club website or the venue’s official site. Arriving early is recommended to allow time for registration and the swim‑bike‑run transition setup.

Weather & What to Pack
