The Relay Run is for Split Teams only.

Of course! Once your Company exists in the system, you may purchase additional teams by selecting the relevant ‘Team Captain’ sub-event on Race Roster. Once your additional teams have been purchased, team members can register their details by selecting the free ‘Team Member’ sub-event.

Simply log in to your Race Roster Dashboard and select ‘edit registration’. Please note, registrations will be uneditable from end of day Feb 15th.

Your Team Captain has the option to purchase kit postage when registering. Teams who have purchased postage will receive their Team’s kit (event tees and race kit) in one package per team.

Kits are mailed out approximately 2 weeks prior to the event, to the address nominated by the Team Captain during registration. Please note, we are unable to offer bundled postage to a Company.

No problem – follow the instructions in the section above to upgrade or downgrade, then see us at the Event Info tent on event weekend to make any necessary kit changes.

Full Triathlon – 3 Team members complete a full Triathlon each, one after the other, handing over an ankle timing band between members in the ‘Team Transition’ Area.

Split Triathlon – In this event, 2 or 3 members share the legs of one Triathlon. E.g., I do the swim, and then hand over the ankle timing band to my teammate who does the ride, who hands it over again to our last teammate who completes the run. All changeovers are made at the bike rack for this event, which is labeled with your Team Race number.

Bikes on course will differ greatly – we’ve seen road bikes, mountain bikes and even a basket on the front of one or two! The only requirement is that your bike is safe/in good working order, and that you are wearing a helmet that complies with Australian standards.

Full Triathlon – Yes, as within a team you are going one after the other, so bikes can be shared where required.

Split Triathlon – No, Bikes are unable to be shared between teams as cyclists will need to go out on course at similar times.

A basic level of swimming competence is required. Participants are welcome to assess the water conditions on the day and choose to bypass the swim and start their event from the swim finish. They will need to notify staff at the swim.

Elwood Surf Life Saving Club will be present in the water on boards, should a swimmer need to grab on for a quick rest during the 300m swim.

All Teams must be off Beach Road (completing the cycle leg) ahead of its opening at 11:30am.

This is most relevant for teams in the Full Triathlon Team Relay, where if team member 3 hasn’t started by 10:30am, they will be sent onto the course with another timing chip, prior to team member 2 returning. The times from both chips will be combined to calculate a total team time.

All entrants will receive the 2026 Event Tee, included in the cost of entry!
For Full or Semi-Custom teamwear, enquire here with the team at SUB4.

Swim: Swim cap (provided) is a must. Bathers, tri-suits or similar are perfect for the March bay waters.
