About the Mackay Triathlon & Multisport Festival

The Mackay Triathlon Festival is the highlight of our triathlon season, bringing together athletes, families, and fitness enthusiasts to the heart of Mackay.

Every September, we host this  two-day event along the picturesque coastline, offering a unique blend of competitive spirit and community camaraderie set against a backdrop of pristine beaches and tropical scenery.

Our lineup includes something for everyone—including triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon & Aquabike options, to  open-water swims, and a fun kids’ triathlon.

The Festival culminates with the Standard Distance Triathlon, challenging athletes with a 1.5km swim, 40km bike, and 10km run. With a focus on inclusivity, we welcome participants of all ages and experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned pros, to test their endurance and push their boundaries in a supportive, high-energy atmosphere.

Beyond the racecourse, the Mackay Triathlon Festival celebrates the rich local culture and stunning natural environment. Participants and spectators can enjoy event stalls, community showcases, and post-race gatherings that create a true festival vibe, giving athletes and families a chance to connect and celebrate their achievements.

Whether you’re here to compete, support, or simply enjoy the excitement, the Mackay Triathlon Festival promises an unforgettable weekend. Dive into the adventure, make lasting memories, and experience the unmatched beauty of the Mackay region with us!
