Course Description

The IRONKIDS race kicks off with a wave‑start swim in the calm waters of Corio Bay, where young athletes splash out from Eastern Beach and turn back toward shore. After a short, supervised swim, participants transition onto the soft sand for a flat, coastal run that winds along the beachfront promenade, offering stunning views of the bay and easy terrain. The course is fully marshaled with safety support and plenty of cheering spectators, making it an ideal introduction to multisport for children while showcasing Geelong’s beautiful waterfront.

Getting There

The race is held at Eastern Beach Reserve in Geelong. For parking, public transport options and detailed arrival instructions, please visit the official IRONMAN website or contact the event organisers directly.
