Competitors can take in the best that Mooloolaba has to offer, starting with a swim off the surf beach followed by a fast bike course and a two-lap run course along the Esplanade cheered on by all your friends, family and the local community.

Athletes will enjoy the experience of a rolling start to kick off the swim course at Mooloolaba’s spectacular surf beach! The ocean swim consists of a one lap course that follows a clockwise direction and starting at ‘Loo With A View’ and finishing just south of the Surf Lifesaving Tower.

From Transition runners will head north and onto the iconic Mooloolaba Esplanade. After heading over the scenic Alexandra Headland hill, athletes will continue to Cotton Tree via Sixth Avenue and Alexandra Parade. Athletes will follow the same route for the second lap along striking shores and a spectator lined course before finishing in the heart of Mooloolaba.
