Course Description

The race starts at Cottesloe Beach right in front of the Indiana Tearooms and finishes at Swanbourne Beach beside the Swanbourne Patrol Tower. A series of buoys marks the 2 km open‑water swim, with surf lifesavers on board to guide participants. The 2 km run follows the same coastal line, letting you feel the sand underfoot while taking in sweeping ocean views and the gentle surf backdrop. Whether you’re paddling a MAL or a SUP, you’ll enjoy a flat, scenic route with plenty of safety support, making it an accessible yet memorable beach multisport experience.
