The two races will provide athletes from both sides of the ditch a valuable opportunity to test their skills under hot and humid conditions, mimicking those expected in Tokyo this July. On that day, The Green & Gold will take on the Kiwis in a 40km  cycle along sections of Port Douglas Road, Davidson Street and Garrick Street. Sections of the roads will be temporarily closed with diversions in place to ensure residents and visitors can travel into and out of town.

Our iconic Four Mile Beach will play host to the 1.5km swim , while Macrossan Street will allow onlookers to be close to the action and cheer on our national stars as they run down the main street.

Due to the fast paced nature of an event of this scale, volunteers will be required for both action packed days of racing.

“Save the date in your calendar, bring a chair and your loudest voice – this is something that will go down in history.”
