Start with a splash in the tropical waters off Mooloolaba Beach, spin down the Sunshine Coast Motorway and whether you like to stroll or sprint, finish it along the Esplanade that stretches from one beautiful beach to another.


Due to the expected wind and swell conditions on Sunday 9 March the decision has been made to alter the course to bring athletes back to the beach for an 'Aussie Exit' approximately halfway through the swim. Athletes will exit the water, run around two green buoys and return to the water.

The 'Aussie Exit' will be placed between start and finish, with both to remain in their originally planned positions.

As a result of this update the swim course will be approximately 1300m.

Course Summary

Swim
The Swim is a 1500m ‘flag’ shaped swim course with the swim start located on the eastern end of Mooloolaba Main Beach. Athletes will swim in an anti-clockwise direction with the first turn buoy at 350 metres, with swimmers completing two left hand turns before returning to shore. If you want to warm-up prior to your race start, there’s plenty of water to the right of the swim course to turn the arms over.

Bike
Call us cheeky, but we love that the Sunshine Coast Motorway gets locked down for us. It gives us the very unique chance to take on a slick, fast and flat course. The 40km Bike out and back course starts with one little pinch of a climb out to the motorway. It is 20km to the turnaround point and return to transition. As always, when you’re coming into the transition area take it a little easy.

Run
The Run Course is a two-lap course in a clockwise direction taking in some of the most scenic coastal views of the Sunshine Coast.
