Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon Port Macquarie, home to the Oceania TriClub Championship, is one of the most scenic and spirited events on the race calendar. From the calm 1.9km swim in Hastings River to the rolling, coastal 90km bike course—featuring the iconic Matthew Flinders Drive climb—and the vibrant 21.1km run along Town Beach, Kooloonbung Creek, and Settlement Point Road, this race offers both beauty and challenge. You deserve a training plan designed to meet those demands—and exceed them.
