Short Distance Triathlon

All swimmers will start together in waist deep water at the end of the boat ramp for a superb swim through the crystal clear water of Geographe Bay. Completing a 750m single loop swim with a series of right turns, swimmers remain within 200m of the coastline at all times (making for great viewing) whilst swimming over a sandy bottom kept alive with the fluttering of small fish in the shallows. Exit the water up the boat ramp and enter Transition #1 in the car park just 30m from the water’s edge.

Short course riders will complete a fun mountain bike ride through the Dunsborough Country Club grounds as a single loop that takes in some of the most fun trails in the area.

The MTB course will include heaps of single track but also plenty of over-taking opportunities to allow faster riders through. This course will be technically challenging in spots but there are always easier “B” lines to take if you are not keen on taking the faster and more technical “A” lines. Some previous MTB experience is highly recommended!

Exit the transition area (TA) and run through the Country Club on flowing MTB style single track before joining the wider coastal trail that parallels the coast to just north of Curtis Bay. Turn right and commence the homeward leg with 1.5km of rock hopping, stepping and jumping as you make your along a combination of rocks and sand back towards Dunsborough. Soon enough you leave the coast and commence a final climb back to the Country Club and the jubilant finish chute. Well done!
