Busselton Triathlon Club Handicapped Half Marathon and 11.4km
About the race
A scenic half marathon from Busselton Jetty to Dunsborough Bay Yacht Club along the coastal footpath. This is a training session run by Busselton Triathlon Club.
Water, toilets and finish snacks
There will be an aid station with water at the 10km point. There are taps and toilets on the coastal path, but a hydro-pack or water bottle is recommended.
Cold water and snacks will be at the finish line.
Start times and handicap
The aim is to finish at 9am, so please state your planned run time on the day. Event organizer Ben will calculate your start time and email you before the event starts.
Your start time will be your 9am finish minus your planned run time. If this is your first half marathon, put your expected time to complete 21.1 km and your start time will be calculated.
Parking and car sharing
Car sharing for the return trip is encouraged. The finish is at the Dunsborough Yacht Club car park, and there is plenty of parking, so we recommend leaving a car at the finish.
Before you leave, please ask if anyone would like a lift back to the Shelter. This community approach has worked for 5 years, so please help it keep rolling.

City insight: Busselton
Busselton is a seaside town on Geographe Bay in the south-west of Western Australia, famous for its jetty, one of the longest timber jetties in the world, and as the gateway to the Margaret River wine and surf region. The climate is Mediterranean: summers (December to February) are warm to hot and dry with sea breezes, autumn (March to May) is mild and settled, winters (June to August) are cool and wet, and spring (September to November) is fresh and green. Late spring to early autumn is the best time for racing and open-water swimming, as the bay is calm and shallow. Perth is roughly two and a half to three hours away by road.
