Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off with a short swim along Beach Road, where the water is monitored by the Elwood Surf Life Saving Club. After the swim, athletes transition to a bike leg on the closed section of Beach Road, offering a fast, flat, and scenic ride past the Sandringham Yacht Club and Port Phillip Bay shoreline. The run follows on local roads, looping back to the finish line at Trevor Barker Oval. The course is entirely road‑based, with no technical trails, making it fast and accessible while still delivering beautiful coastal scenery and a festive race‑day atmosphere.

The event is held at Trevor Barker Oval in the Sandringham suburb of Melbourne. Parking and public‑transport details are not listed on the race page – please check the official website for the latest information and plan to arrive early for kit collection and bike check‑in.
