Rond Terrace, Acton, Canberra
The Challenge Canberra Triathlon from 15 to 16 November 2025 includes a flagship Middle distance race, plus Olympic, Sprint and Super Sprint distances and a junior Aquathlon.
The scenic Middle distance course starts in the central basin of Lake Burley Griffin with a single lap 1.9km swim. The 90km bike is a challenging closed course that takes athletes up a climb into the beautiful National Arboretum and finishing on fast, flat closed roads. The fast, flat three-lap half marathon runs along the Lake Burley Griffin foreshore, through the beautiful Commonwealth Park, around the Nerang Pool and across Commonwealth Bridge before finishing on Rond Terrace with striking views of Australia’s old and new Parliament House.
