Event Details
Course Description
The Eastern Triathlon Series Race 2 takes place at the renowned Heffron Park Crit Course in Maroubra, one of Sydney's premier criterium circuits. Athletes begin with a swim at Des Renford Leisure Centre pool before transitioning to the closed-road criterium course for the bike leg, featuring smooth tarmac and technical corners that reward skilled bike handling. The run leg utilises the parkland surrounds, offering a relatively flat and fast course. This urban triathlon combines the challenge of a technical bike course with the accessibility of pool swimming, making it ideal for both first-timers testing the waters with the Enticer distance and experienced athletes pushing for podium positions in the competitive Sprint category.
Getting There
Heffron Park is located in Maroubra, easily accessible via Anzac Parade. Street parking is available on surrounding streets including Boonara Avenue and Fitzgerald Avenue, though arrive early on race day as spaces fill quickly. Public transport options include buses along Anzac Parade (routes 391, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397) with stops within walking distance of the venue. The race is based outside Des Renford Leisure Centre. Plan to arrive at least 60 minutes before your wave start for registration, transition setup, and race briefing.
Weather & What to Pack
Early February in Sydney typically brings warm summer conditions with average temperatures ranging from 19-26°C. Morning race starts offer cooler conditions, though humidity can be high (60-75%). Expect clear skies with occasional coastal breezes at Maroubra. Sun protection is essential - apply sunscreen before the race and consider a race cap for the run. The pool swim eliminates ocean conditions concerns. Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to the event, and take advantage of aid stations during the race. Light, breathable tri-suits or running gear work best in these conditions.
