Race 1 Elwood

Update 23 Nov 2025 – With higher rainfall than forecast (at least 10mm overnight in the local area), after consulting with Elwood Surf Life Saving Club, the beach has been deemed ‘Not suitable for swimming’, due to poor water quality.

Although the beach may look clear of debris, other factors like E. coli are taken into account.  The health and safety of our participants is always our number 1 priority so, therefore, a contingency Run will replace the swim leg, as per Triathlon Australia’s Race Competition Rules.
