• Personalised race number & name
  

Plus, all the race-day essentials that make everything run like clockwork:

• Professional timing

You focus on the race — we’ll take care of everything else.

We’ve got a stack of epic spot prizes up for grabs — from wetsuits to gear bundles and surprise giveaways!

Prizegiving kicks off at 2:30 pm, so grab a long lunch at one of the local cafés, refuel, relax, and then come back to soak up the atmosphere. It’s always a great way to wrap up the day — celebrating the legends who raced and maybe walking away with something special yourself.

Bike — 3 hours 30 minutes (average ≈ 23 km/h) - Off the road by 11.30pm

Run — cut-off 2:30 pm

It might seem tight — but never fear! This event has been running for years, and the timing is generous, even if you’re pacing yourself.

Bike course closes at 10:30 am, and the run cut-off is 11:30 am (though you can still finish under your own steam if you’re determined to get it done — we’ll keep the clock running a little past “pack-down o’clock,” just without marshals).

Live all day on race day — so your friends and family can track exactly how long youreallyspent in transition. The link will go live on the website and be posted to Facebook on race morning.

• Make sure your race number is clearly displayed on your helmet — it helps us identify you on the bike if we need to.

• And don’t forget to have your run number visible on the run. If you’re not keen on punching safety-pin holes through your trisuit, grab yourself a race belt—easy, clean, and way less stress on race morning.
