Course Description

The race kicks off with a 750‑metre flag‑shaped swim at the eastern end of Mooloolaba Main Beach, looping anti‑clockwise with two left‑hand turns. Athletes then tackle a 20 km bike over Alexandra Headlands, completing three laps on a flat, fast road circuit. The finale is a single 5 km run clockwise around the Esplanade, showcasing panoramic Sunshine Coast scenery. The course is fully road‑based, non‑drafting, and designed for a smooth, spectator‑friendly experience that highlights the beauty of the coastal environment.

The sprint triathlon is held on the Mooloolaba Esplanade in Mooloolaba. A shuttle service runs from Mountain Creek State School (Lady Musgrave Drive) to the River Esplanade bus stop on race day.

Light layers, a hat and sunscreen are advisable for the early‑morning start, and stay well hydrated with water or electrolyte drinks at the aid stations. Expect mostly dry conditions, but a light shower is possible, so a quick‑dry jacket can be handy.
