Challenge Canberra 2024

Five Reasons to Race Challenge Canberra: Australia’s capital city, Canberra, is home to Challenge Canberra middle distance triathlon and is one of the world’s most liveable cities where you can enjoy a vibrant lifestyle, brimming with culture and art, just a stone’s throw from natural bushland. It’s also home to the most physically active community in Australia. Sport and recreational activities are a highly prized part of the lifestyle with an extensive network of cycleways and footpaths making getting outdoors enjoyable and safe.

1. Swim a large one-lap course without having to swim over the top of people with iconic landmarks surrounding you.
2. The cycle course has everything, fast, flat, climbs, undulation – it’s not called Challenge Canberra for nothing!
3. You get to cycle and run in the vicinity of some of Canberra’s and Australia’s iconic and scenic landmarks such as the National Arboretum, the Australian War Memorial, the National Museum of Australia, and more.
4. The run course is a beautiful scenic run through Commonwealth Park and around the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin – running past the Captain Cook Fountain, the Carillon, and more.
5. Great for spectators who can watch the whole swim from the foreshore, see loved ones and teammates on the bike several times as they pass the magnificent Rond Terrace event site and then watch them several times on the run – one of the best city Challenge races in the world.

About the Race
Canberra is the Capital of Australia and is accessible from every city in Australia and only a 3-hour drive from Sydney. The airport is only 6km from the city with bundles of accommodation available and riding distance to the event site.

The Challenge Canberra middle distance triathlon course is one of the most exciting courses in Australia with iconic landmarks and a scenic course that starts in the central basin of Lake Burley Griffin, a swim course that allows for all those supporters to watch every stroke you do from start to finish.

The bike course is a magnificent and challenging closed course that takes you up a nice little climb into the beautiful National Arboretum, where you might just have time to enjoy the views of Canberra as you work your way through the only technical area of the course before hitting some fast and flat roads.

And it gets even better from T2 as you head out onto a three-lap 7km run along the Lake Burley Griffin foreshore while first you run through the beautiful Commonwealth Park as the path takes you around the Nerang Pond and out onto the foreshore, across Commonwealth Bridge with views of Parliament House right in front of you. The very fast and flat course will see some superfast run splits.
