The 3.8km swim is a 2-lap ocean/bay course at Busselton Foreshore staying close to shore. The 180km bike course is a fast and flat 2-lap ride along the coast and through Tuart Forest. The 42.2km run course is a relatively flat 4-lap route passing along the iconic Busselton Jetty with views across Geographe Bay.

ROKA Swim Course - 3.8km

Incorporating the superb Busselton Foreshore start, the course sees swimmers stay closer to shore, meaning less exposure to the weather and better swim conditions. This 2-lap course sees athletes exit the water after the first lap, complete a short run, and re-enter the water to start their second lap.

ZOOT Bike Course - 180km

The fast and flat 2-lap course starts by heading along the coast initially, before entering the spectacular Tuart Forest. There's great views of both coast and bushland to keep your mind occupied, as well as wildlife to keep an eye out for.

HOKA Run Course - 42.2km

The relatively flat 4-lap course heads east before heading back west to pass along the iconic Busselton Jetty. Enjoy views across Geographe Bay and soak up the atmosphere.
