Swim course

Swimmers will go in a clockwise direction around two marker buoys before exiting the water at the beach.

Run course
After exiting transition runners will turn left onto Seaview Promenade and follow the flat sealed path 1.2 km to Deep Water Bay. Turning point A will be clearly visible approx. 100 metres prior to the bbq pits at Deep Water Bay Beach. Sprint competitors will run from here straight back to Repulse Bay Beach and to the finish line on the beach. Challenge competitors will be required to complete another lap of the run course after turning at Turning point B located just before the transition area at Repulse Bay. After finishing their second run loop, Challenge competitors will re-enter the water for one more 500m swim followed by one more 5km run.
