Course Details |
|
Swim Course – 1500m
(1 x Lap)
1.5km ocean swim. Depending on weather conditions you will contend with chop, surf and currents but generally Mooloolaba beach is calm. Depending on these conditions the athlete may have to negotiate the surf on entry and exit.
The 1.5km course will be 1 lap. The swim will consist of a beach start; a 300m straight swim to the first turning buoys where you will turn right over 40m, then swim straight for 400m, right again over 40m, then swim straight (towards the shore) for 200m, right again over 40m, and straight for 400m at the end of this straight you will pass a white buoy on your left, turn left after the buoy and head to beach / swim exit. It is a rectangle course; all right hand turns except for a left hand turn when returning to shore. Throughout the swim ensure that all red/orange buoys are on your right side.
Water Temperature: Approx. 22 degrees Celsius

Cycle Course – 40km
(7 x Lap)
40km, 7 laps straight out and back course. Leaving transition you immediately negotiate a round about which becomes one of the two turning points for the 7 lap course the other turn is where Sixth Avenue meets Aerodrome Rd, a U-turn. 700m from transition, athletes will ride over Alex Hill, the only hill on course, after descending; it is flat and fast, with a good hot mix surface to the turn around. The course follows the same route back over Alex Hill, back through transition, onto the next lap.
The course follows the spectacular shore line of Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headland beaches; therefore the course is susceptible to winds. Predominately light winds prevail in March, with a slight head or cross wind heading out to the turn around and a tail wind back to transition.

Run Course – 10km
(4 x Lap)
Run 10km, 4 laps straight out and back course the same as the cycle but the turn around point on Alexandra Parade is the cross Street of Mayfield Road. Again approx 700m you have Alex Hill to run up, once you hit the summit it is a downhill run onto the flats to the turn around point. Follow the same route back to the top of Alex Hill and straight down the Esplanade to the transition area or finish.
