State Standard Distance Triathlon Enticer Distance Triathlon Duathlon Sprint Distance Sunday 17 th February 2019 Koombana Bay Bunbury
A message from the Race Director The iconic Bunbury City Classic Standard Distance Triathlon is back proudly sponsored by LGM Industries. The LGM Industries Bunbury City Classic Triathlon course incorporates the pristine and protected beach area of Koombana Bay. The ocean swim course runs close to the beach, it s great for spectators who can view from the adjacent boardwalk. The 2 lap undulating bike course leaves Koombana Bay and runs through the city centre and out along the coastline of Back Beach returning to Koombana Bay. Once again it s a fantastic experience for riders and spectators alike. The run course winds itself around the Leschenault Estuary, through the waterfront area up to the lighthouse and back to Koombana Bay for the 10km course along the pedestrian path taking in all the views of Bunbury. The event will be the State Standard Distance Championship and is also a Qualifying Race for the Age Group Team for the 2019 ITU World Championships in Lausanne Switzerland. Proudly hosted by the Bunbury Triathlon Club, the return of this event will be enhanced with a new course layout that will allow participants to enjoy Bunbury s scenic coastline and super smooth Ocean Drive for the ride course under closed road conditions. For our younger and more recreational participants, along with those new to the sport, an Enticer Distance Triathlon and Duathlon Sprint Distance is also available. A special thank you to the LGM Industries for their generous sponsorship in helping facilitate the return of this event with Bunbury Triathlon Club and to the Dolphin Discovery Centre for their support in incorporating the Classic with their Opening Event Festivities.
