Standard and Sprint Triathlon DistancesThe long running Shoalwater Classic Olympic distance triathlon has become a staple on the
Triathlon Western Australia’s calendar, this year with the option of Sprint distance as well as
completing either distance as an individual or as a team, it is a race not to be missed!
The Shoalwater Classic takes place on one of the most picturesque triathlon courses in
Western Australia. The swim takes place in the beautiful waters of Shoalwater Bay. There
are usually minimal currents and waves which makes for a relatively fast swim. The multi-lap
bike course is split into two segments. As you head out of transition the course takes
athletes out towards Point Perron, the roads here are technical, twisty and narrow. Then
athletes get enjoy the long fast section along Shoalwater Foreshore. The multi-lap run is
along the beautiful Shoalwater Foreshore with views of Penguin Island and Seal Island.
