Mooloolaba Triathlon

The Mooloolaba Triathlon is an annual triathlon held since 1993 in Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia.[1] It is reported to attract up to 4,000 competitors and includes open-water swimming, cycling, and running.[2] USM EVENTS (now World Triathlon Corporation)[3] owns and manages the Mooloolaba Triathlon Festival. The Mooloolaba Triathlon is the second-largest Olympic distance triathlon event in Australia.[4]

The Mooloolaba Triathlon is the centerpiece of a three-day multi-sport festival. The festival includes events for both elite and beginning athletes, including the Age Group Triathlon, Asics Twilight 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) Run, the Peregian Springs Mooloolaba Ocean Swim, and for children, the Courier-Mail Mooloolaba Superkidz Triathlon.

Also staged in conjunction with the festival is the International Triathlon Union Mooloolaba Triathlon World Cup, the only Australian leg of the ITU Triathlon World Cup Series. As the first race of the season, the World Cup event consistently draws thousands of spectators and a talented international field. In 2011, the world’s top triathletes raced for a prize pool totaling US $100,000.

In 2013, the swim leg of the race was moved to the Mooloolah River for safety reasons after Tropical Cyclone Sandra created huge swells.[5]
