Mooloolaba is one of Australia’s premier beachside resort locations, situated in South-East Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. It is only a forty-five minute drive from Brisbane’s International Airport and just ten minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport, a major regional facility.

Combined with a beautiful coastline of sun-drenched beaches and the pristine blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, Mooloolaba also boasts some of the best weather conditions in the world with an average summer temperature of 28 degrees C and winter temperature of 18 degrees C.

This beautiful location provides the perfect opportunity for competitors and non-competing partners and families to stay and enjoy the relaxed environment and attractions, including the Sunshine Coast’s hinterland, whilst taking pleasure in Mooloolaba’s vibrant beachfront café lifestyle.

Mooloolaba features fantastic residential and resort-style accommodation with reasonable prices available for long-term accommodation. Much of Mooloolaba’s accommodation is centred around the cafés, restaurants and boutique shops on the up-market beachfront tourist strip which doubles as the venue for the ITU World Cup and the Mooloolaba Triathlon.

The Sunshine Coast region is quickly becoming recognised as the pre-eminent triathlon, cycling, running, swimming and adventure training destination in the world.  The combination of safe, secure living conditions, great running and cycling courses and a variety of swimming pools, gyms, dedicated training facilities and sports physiology testing centres, are now being utlised by teams and athletes from all over the globe, enabling them to live comfortably and train at their peak capacity for maximum results.

The Mooloolaba Triathlon is now in its 19th year and the second biggest Olympic-distance triathlon in Australia.  It is part of a 3-day multi sport festival which attracts more than 6,000 participants across a variety of sporting and entertainment activities adding a festive atmosphere to the event.
