Sri Chinmoy Sprint Triathlon Course Description
Swim - The swim begins with a deep-water start off the beach between Yarralumla Bay and Blue Gum Point. Swim anti-clockwise, keeping all buoys and course markers to your left.
Cycle - KEEP TO THE LEFT AND RIDE SINGLE FILE AT ALL TIMES UNLESS OVERTAKING – DRAFTING IS NOT PERMITTED. Exit the cycle compound at the eastern end, heading along Alexandrina Dr, towards Flynn Dr. Alexandrina Dr is closed to traffic but you need to remain watchful for any vehicle which was parked before the closure. Proceed straight through the roundabout at Flynn Dr onto Coronation Dr and then turn left onto Commonwealth Ave. After crossing Commonwealth Avenue Bridge, take the exit ramp to Parkes Way, following Parkes Way, which becomes Tuggeranong Parkway, until a left turn onto the exit ramp onto Cotter Rd. Turn left into Cotter Rd. Follow Cotter Rd until it becomes an entry ramp onto Adelaide Ave. Follow Adelaide Ave to State Circle. Turn left at State Circle, then left again at Flynn Dr. Please approach the roundabout with caution, as you make a sharp left turn into Alexandrina Dr for the final stretch back to Yarralumla Bay.
Run - Exit the bike compound at the western end and follow Alexandrina Drive, turning right onto the cycle path near the intersection of Novar St. Continue on this cycle path across Weston Park Rd, and up over the hill. At the bottom of this hill, before the cycle path heads into Westbourne Woods, turn right onto a small dirt walking track which follows the shoreline of the lake around behind the Yarralumla Nursery. This track continues along and beyond the beach at Weston Park West, after which the course crosses a footbridge, then heads up a grassy slope to the edge of a dirt car park and up onto Weston Park Rd. Cross the road and turn right along Weston Park Rd, following this road as far as the cycle path intersection. Turn left onto the cycle path and return via the same route, ultimately heading down the finish chute.
