About this event
The 32nd annual Sparke Helmore Newcastle City Triathlon will take place on Sunday, 9 November 2025, from the scenic Camp Shortland near Nobbys Beach on Newcastle Harbour.
Recognised as one of Australia’s most picturesque triathlon courses, the event features an ocean swim adjacent to the beach, a cycle loop from Foreshore Park to Newcastle Baths including Wharf Road and Fort Drive, and a flat, fast run course along the foreshore.
