SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER

TRIATHLON

New for 2026. A swim, cycle and run through the iconic Blackwood Valley scenery. Teams of 3 (or solo individual triathletes) compete across the following legs:​

​

​

​

​

Short, sharp and thrilling. The swim leg takes place at Blackwood Bend, a spectacular private property on the banks of the Blackwood River. Swimmers enter the river around 1,500m upstream of Winnejup Bridge and make their way downstream, exiting at the bridge. A short run up the riverbank brings you to the clearly marked handover zone, where your cyclist is waiting.​

 

 

 

 

The same scenic, demanding course as the Five Leg Relay - A genuinely scenic ride that tests endurance, strength and focus in equal measure. The ride starts near Winnejup Bridge winding through rolling countryside, with steep climbs and fast descents that reward riders who've prepared properly - this is no easy cruise. The course finishes back at the Bridgetown Sports Ground, where crowds will be waiting to cheer the handover to the final leg.

 

 

 

 

The same finishing course as the Five Leg Relay. From the Bridgetown Sports Ground, the route winds through Four Seasons Estate and alongside the Railway track, mixing straight stretches and inclines that test pace, focus and footing. Watch your footing on the shorter trail section - a downhill stretch offers some relief before the final climb up Whittell's Road and back to the oval for a tough, triumphant finish.

​

Looking ahead: as the standalone Triathlon grows, we're exploring a longer individual run leg in future years - watch this space as we build #To50AndBeyond

​

Post Event celebrations will be held at the finish line at Bridgetown Sports Ground with food stalls, bar, live music and prize presentations.
