Couse Descriptions:

Swim Course 2 km
The course will be a 2km open water swim in the crystal clear waters of Jervis Bay. Commencing with a deep water start at Huskisson Beach, competitors will complete a 1 lap anti-clockwise course. Competitors will then leave the shore and run up to the transition area.

Bike Course 83 km
The cycle leg, 83 km will consist of a 3 lap course. The majority of the bike course will have “road restrictions” allowing for a safe and challenging ride. Athletes will leave the township of Huskisson for approximately 3 km and complete 3 x 27 km loops, heading inland on an 80 % flat and 20% undulating, course. Each lap will take you through the small community villages of Woollamia and Vincentia, where many locals will be in support of this unique event for the City of Shoalhaven.

Run Course 20 km
After leaving the bike leg and commencing the run, athletes will have wished this to be a marathon. The 20 km run leg will be a 2 lap out and back course. Runners will exit from White Sands Beach Park and run along the footpath / cycleway that snakes along the foreshore of Jervis Bay. The gentle ocean breeze that wisps across the bay will be a delight to the many athletes as they set out to chase their dreams, beat their mates, or just finish yet another race.
