Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Port Macquarie—home to the Oceania TriClub Championship—is one of the most scenic and inspiring races in Australia. Athletes tackle a calm 1.9km swim in the Hastings River, followed by a 90km coastal bike course that includes the legendary Matthew Flinders Drive climb. The race concludes with a vibrant 21.1km run along Town Beach, Kooloonbung Creek, and Settlement Point Road. This course demands more than just stamina—it requires smart, age-appropriate preparation.
