Double Triathlon
Rainbow Beach Triathlon is a unique event. We are offering athletes the opportunity to compete in an Olympic distance event over two days by completing a ‘sprint distance’ 750/20/5* triathlon on the Saturday afternoon and then another of the same distance on Sunday morning. The two events are combined to give an ‘olympic’ distance time, from which the event placegetters are calculated.
Participants can choose to enter either the ‘DOUBLE’ race (ie Sat + Sun races), or just one of either the Saturday race or Sunday race.
This race can be done either as an individual or as a team event.

You can collect your race pack on either:

• Saturday: Registration tent at the Transition area at the corner of Clarkson Drive and Griffin Esp. from 12:00 to 3:00pm.
• Sunday: Registration tent at the Transition area at the corner of Clarkson Drive and Griffin Esp. from 6:00am.

Bikes must be racked in the racks provided outside Registration area before going through registration and/or numbering. If you line up with your bike you will be sent to the back of the line.
 
Swim
Swim will be ‘with the sweep’ of the current. At this stage it is expected that this will be a start at Rainbow Beach SLSC with the swim headed in the direction of Inskip Point. The swim will be ONE ‘lap’ of a ‘point to point’ swim.
 
Swim caps
Swim caps are compulsory and will be available at registration
Wetsuit
This will be announced on the morning of the race. Wet suits are only permitted if the water temperature is below 22° .
After the swim your torso (upper body) must be covered!
 
Bike
Gympie Regional Council have come on board as our event partner to support this event and have enabled us to close the road between Rainbow Beach and Inskip Point for the cycle leg. The cycle leg is a single loop out and back course from transition, along Clarkson Dr and out on Inskip Av. The cycle leg is on sealed bitumen roads and is mostly flat with very few turns.
 
Run
The run leg is a 2 lap course from transition on the corner of Griffin Esp and Clarkson Dr. From transition, participants turn into Kirchner Ave, then into Wide Bay Esp, into Ocean View Pde, Green Valley Dr, and finally into Carlo Crl. The turn-around point is in Carlo Crl. Participants then head back towards transition, turning for the second loop at the intersection of Kirchner Ave and Wide Bay Esp and heading back to Carlo Crl. From there participants head for the finish line.
