Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Garmin Noosa Triathlon requires sustaining high aerobic output across three distinct disciplines over an Olympic distance course.
Open water swim
The 1.5 km swim in Laguna Bay demands efficient sighting, pacing, and upper body endurance from the start of the race.
Hinterland cycling
The 40 km non-drafting bike leg features a challenging climb that requires sustained power output and discipline under non-drafting rules.
Fast run finish
The 10 km run along Noosa Parade demands the ability to transition quickly from the bike and maintain a strong pace on flat terrain despite accumulated fatigue.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour during the race to maintain energy levels through the cycling and running legs.
