Course Records

Fancy being a record holder? Check out our course records below and see if you can beat them!

All our races are chip timed for accurate results, with course records held for the existing course used. On years where the existing course is unable to be used, new records will not be set. Triathlon records are held by individuals, with team times not counting towards course records.

The course records shown in the tables below are done in the format name (year) - hours:minutes:seconds.
