The heart and soul of IRONMAN racing in Australia
Join the pilgrimage to Australia's oldest IRONMAN event on 5 May 2024 in the stunning town of Port Macquarie.

ROKA Swim Course - 3.8km
The first leg of your IRONMAN Australia journey will take place in the calm and protected waters of the Hastings River as you tackle a very unique 3.8km ROKA swim. This single lap course will start at Westport Park and head North. Around 1km in, you will pass under the Park Street bridge before you get to the famous weir crossing. You will then turn around, head back over the weir, turn South down the Hastings River and complete one last turnaround before heading back into Westport Park towards T1.

Bike Course - 180km
After exiting transition, you will head west onto the bike course via Hastings River Drive before turning left onto Winery Drive for a quick out and back to Cassegrain Wines. You will then get back on Hastings River Drive heading north, riding over the Pacific Highway and through Blackmans Point interchange. From here you will begin the first of two laps at the northern end of the course on Telegraph Point Road and through the scenic townships and rolling hills of Pembrooke and Redbank. The northern turnaround is on Stoney Creek Road, just outside of Wauchope, before returning to Blackmans Point Interchange to start your second lap.

Once your second lap is complete at approximately 125km, you will continue through Blackmans Point interchange and back onto Hastings River Drive, passing tantalisingly close transition as you begin your one lap of the southern course.

You will hit a few more rolling hills along Ocean Drive while taking in the sweeping ocean views, including a stunning loop down to the Tacking Point Lighthouse before continuing south towards the turnaround in Lake Cathie. Your return to Port Macquarie will be where you meet the infamous Matthew Flinders Drive climb before heading back into transition at Westport Park.

HOKA Run Course - 42.2km
Your stunning four-lap HOKA run course will start by heading East. You will pass the finish line before turning around just short of the iconic breakwall where you will experience the cheers and support from locals, loved ones, and TriClubbers. You will then head South down the gently flowing Kooloonbung Creek turning around in the green shady park and passing the giant Goanna. Once you pass across the front of Westport Park, you will start to head North to the turnaround at the end of Settlement Point Road. Then, head back the way you came to complete your first of four laps. On the fourth lap, get ready to bring it home as you approach the famous red carpet at the Town Green to hear those four famous words aYou are an IRONMANa.
