Race IRONMAN Western Australia with a swim at Busselton Foreshore, a fast and flat bike ride along the coast and through bushland, and a run passing by the Busselton Jetty.
Picture your perfect race, and IRONMAN Western Australia has to come pretty close. There’s something about Busselton that just hits right — whether it's the beach town vibe, access to the wonders of the Margaret River region, or the feeling of being on holiday.
Event Date: December 6, 2026
Additional Information: All athletes must hold either an AusTriathlon year-round membership or an AusTriathlon One-Day Licence (ODL) to race.
Transition is located at Signal Park. Mount location is 100m from the exit on Queen St. Facilities available include:
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.
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.
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.
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.
