Swim (160m)
Bike (17km)
Run (3km)
During the swim you will start by swimming up one side of the first lane and down the other before dipping under the lane rope. You will continue this process until you reach the far side of the pool and exit the water to move into transition. Click here for a map of the swim route and exit to transition.
The bike leg will take you out on a single 17km loop around the gently rolling Suffolk lanes. The roads are very quiet and scenic. There will be route signs and marshals in place to guide you as you tick off the kilometres.Clock here for the bike route map.
The run is a flat 3km's and comprises 2 laps using the playing fields adjacent to Stradbroke Swim & Fitness Centre and the headland of surrounding arable fields (no access to the latter prior to race day). Signage and marshals will be in place to guide you.
