WSTC Event Course Maps

All of the WSTC events are held along the Altona Beach Foreshore (both Duathlons and Triathlons). Transistion is set up to the east of the club rooms along side the finish chute.

Note: The Hobsons Bay council is progressing with a number of infrastructure projects at this time and as a result some parts of the course will be altered to allow for this which means there will be the possibility of alternate routes for the bike and run legs of the event. The committee will look to ensure that the distance for these legs are kept as close to the advertised distances as possible. The club will notfiy what changes to routes there will be as part of the details included on each race on the website.
