Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Cairns Race Guide + Elite Masters 40+ Training Plan
Crush the Cairns Course with Confidence, Strength, and Strategy
The Half Distance Triathlon Cairns is a world-class challenge in a tropical paradise. With stunning scenery and fast conditions, it’s the perfect race to test your limits—and our Masters 40+ Six-Month Training Plan is built to help you dominate it.
🏊 1.9km Swim – Palm Cove Perfection
Begin your race at Palm Cove, with a single-loop 1.9km swim from Williams Esplanade to the northern swim exit. This year’s course runs closer to shore for smoother waters and more consistent pacing. Expect a comfortable 73°F (23°C) water temperature—ideal for a wetsuit-legal swim.
🚴 90km Bike – Iconic Coastal Ride
After T1, ride north on the Captain Cook Highway toward Port Douglas. This 90km ride is both breathtaking and fast, featuring epic views at Rex Lookout and rolling coastal terrain. The scenic return south finishes at T2 in Fogarty Park, Cairns.
🏃 21.1km Run – The Esplanade Experience
The final leg features two flat and fast laps along the Cairns Esplanade. With aid stations every 2km and crowd energy that never quits, this 21.1km run delivers a strong and inspiring finish. Typical race-day temps hover around 79°F (26°C)—warm but manageable.
