athletes to choose from allowing a wide range of ages and abilities to take
part. A triathlon is made up of three legs;
Swim, Bike & Run. All swim legs during the festival will be held within
Wollongong Harbour/foreshore and monitored by the Local Wollongong Surf Club.
The cycle will start on Cliff Rd as athletes make their way out to the bike
turn around point at the Towradgi Rd Intersection. All races will make a U-turn
on Pioneer Rd prior to the Towradgi Rd intersection. The Standard distance will
complete 4 laps of this course (40km), the Sprint distance will complete 2 laps
(20km) and the Try-a-Tri/Super Sprint races will complete 1 lap of this course
(10km). The final part of the race is the run.
All races will utilise the footpath that makes its way around Endeavour Dr,
past the light house and behind the surf club on the water side with each run
having a turn point along the Marine Dr footpath before returning to the finish
line to complete the race. A kids aquathon will also be the final
part of the festival with a quick swim in the harbour before a run to the
finish line to collect their medal. Road closures will be in place for the
duration of our cycle legs, a Traffic Management Plan will be submitted to
Council for approval.
