Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a 750 m (Sprint), 400 m (Enticer) or 300 m (Dash) swim from the Altona Pier, navigating buoys out to the cardinal marker before turning back. Cyclists then head west onto the Esplanade, completing 1‑3 laps of a flat 6‑18 km loop that follows the beachfront and crosses Kororoit Creek. The run finishes on the scenic Altona foreshore path, a 2‑5 km out‑and‑back route with sea views. Course layouts may be tweaked due to local infrastructure projects, but distances stay true to the advertised lengths.
Getting There
The event is held at the Altona Beach Foreshore, with the club rooms located beside the Altona Surf Life Saving Club at the corner of the Esplanade and Pier Street. Parking and public‑transport details are not listed on the site, so please check the official website for the latest information. Registration opens about an hour before the 06:30 start, so aim to arrive early to collect your bib and set up in transition.
Weather & What to Pack
December is summer in Victoria, so expect warm, sunny conditions with temperatures typically ranging from 20 °C to 30 °C and moderate humidity. Light, breathable clothing, a hat and sunscreen are recommended, as well as plenty of water before and during the race. A wetsuit is optional for the short swim distances, but most athletes favour a swim suit and quick‑dry gear.
