The event features a 1.9 km, two-lap ocean swim off Galle Face Beach, followed by a flat 90 km three-lap bike course on fully closed coastal roads extending through Port City Colombo and south towards Dehiwala, and finishes with a flat 21.1 km run along the coastal corridor through the heart of Colombo.
Athletes will begin with a 1.9 km, two-lap ocean swim off Galle Face Beach, with the start and finish positioned close to the transition area. The compact course is designed around clearly defined turning and line-of-sight buoys, keeping athletes close to shore and providing a highly visible opening to the race.
The 90 km bike course comprises three laps on a predominantly coastal route through Colombo. Athletes will ride briefly inside Port City Colombo's wide boulevards and Port of Colombo before passing the old Parliament complex with Colombo’s skyline as the backdrop. The course then proceeds along the seafront corridor south toward Dehiwala before returning to Galle Face on fully closed roads with aid stations positioned every 15 km.
