The course is made up of three disciplines covering a total distance of 56km. The disciplines will include a road cycle (32km), flat water kayak (12km) and a trail run (12km).
A 32km road ride from Akuna Bay to West Head and back. Starting from Akuna Bay Marina car park cyclists climb steadily up General San Martin Drive, before turning left onto West Head Rd. The course undulates along this road, still gaining height towards West Head. Just before competitors reach the loop at the end of West Head (176 meters) they will be turned around to make their way back to Akuna Bay. The route is exactly the same except it is faster as it is mainly down hill.
