The junior events are half the distance of the “Sprint Triathlon offering an achievable distance for new comers whilst far enough for more serious athletes to thrive.

SWIM LEG

The swim leg will be held in Caroline Bay with the turn buoys being inside the buoys that will be used for the full Sprint Tri. Refer to COURSE MAPS for more details

BIKE LEG

The bike leg is 4 laps of the track (we suggest a bike computer or GPS watch to help counting). Each lap is ~2.4km

Athletes will start in a handicap order based on their time out of the swim eg the leader out of the swim starts the bike leg first and others start whatever deficit they were behind the leader out of the water.

Drafting is allowed. Anyone on a time trial bike CANNOT ride on their aero bars at any time (even if riding solo)

RUN LEG

The run leg will be 1 lap of the course to make up a distance of 2.5km

Refer to COURSE MAPS for more details

DUATHLON RUN LEG #1

The duathletes will start behind the swim start area running along the beach, up onto the footpath on Marine Parade for an out and back course then merge back with the swimmers as they exit the water.
