The “Big Husky” Triathlon Festival has grown to become one of Australia’s most loved of the ‘Long Course’ events. 2017 marks 12 years of Big Husky excitement and will see athletes compete for the opportunity to be titled Ultimate Australia Champion in their respective categories in the Ultimate Australian Championship.
There’s good reason why athletes keep coming back to this course in droves. This picturesque yet challenging course see’s athletes begin with an open water start for a 2km swim in the incredible waters of Jervis Bay. Participants then mount their bikes and head out on a 3 lap undulating bike course through the outskirts of Huskisson and Woollamia. Riders will be spurred on as they ride through the town center lined with spectators in cafes and restaurants. The 2 lap run heads up along the foreshore path across the Moona Moona Bridge and towards Vincentia with spectacular views of Jervis Bay the entire way before approaching the electric finish, lined by hoards of spectators and triathlon clubs.
Huskisson is well known for its mesmerizing white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters, this beautiful little beach side town on the NSW South Coast is just a scenic 3 hour drive from Sydney. The laid back small town atmosphere is perfect for a family holiday with a multitude of activities for the kids and a number of great restaurants and cafes for the big kids.
