Don’t want to cycle? Easy! Choose one of our 5km, 10km or 15km running events.

Only want to swim and cycle? Aquabike could be the perfect event for you.

It’s all held together on the same morning: one event, multiple options, all tailored to you.

Entering as a Team

Teams are available for the Sprint Triathlon only.

A team can have two or three people, allowing you to divide the swim, cycle and run between your teammates. One person can complete more than one discipline if required.

Team members wait in the designated team area and hand over to their next teammate after completing their discipline.

Your Race, Your Pace

You don’t need to be fast to participate. Take the event at your own pace, follow the course markings and enjoy the experience.

If you’re unsure about anything on race day, ask one of our volunteers. We’re there to help you have a safe and enjoyable event.
