The Barwon Heads Triathlon Course Description

Swim Leg - 400m
Boasting the Barwon Heads Bridge and the famous Diver Dans Boat House (from SeaChange) there could be no more idyllic location for the swim. Protected, calm, crystal, blue water invites all swimmers to enjoy the swim.

Not a strong swimmer? We’re going to make this easier for you! You will be swimming with the incoming current! This could be your quickest 400m ever! The 400m swim starts on the sand bar near the bluff. You will swim parallel with the shore-line, never more than 20m or so from the sand. Approximately 30m before the famous Barwon Heads Bridge you will take a left turn and head towards the shore.

Next, a short 30m jog in to transition, which is located in the carpark opposite the Barwon Heads Hotel.

Bike Leg - 14km
You will grab your bike and head out through Jetty Road turning left on to Ewing Blythe Drive aiming for the famous 13th Beach.

The bike leg is a 14km, out and back course. You will struggle to find a more scenic bike section as the ride takes in the famous “Cadel Evans” 13th Beach Road. The amazing views of the ocean, together with a flat and fast course will make this bike leg more enjoyable than painful!

Once back in transition you will only have the 4km run leg to complete.

Run - 4km
The run heads out over the Barwon Heads footbridge and picks up the trail path to Ocean Grove. Another fast, protected section amongst the coastal bushes and trees make for a fast first half of the run. Once in Ocean Grove you will turn for the beach.

The last few kilometers of the run will be on the sand along the waters edge. Whilst the tide will be coming in, there will still be plenty of hard sand available to run on. Enjoy the salt air and the waves crashing as you head home for Barwon Heads. You will run up around the headland and from there you can see the finish line in sight. Back on the footbridge and it’s only 300m to the finish line, at the end of the bridge.

Crossing the line you will become part of history in completing the first ever Barwon Heads Triathlon, an annual event sure to attract many in the future.

Drinks, food and massage will be available on the grass field near the rotunda.

If you’re still thirsty after the race the Barwon Heads Hotel, just over the road, will be the perfect place to quench your thirst whilst reminiscing over your race.
