Bennetts Beach marks the start, with an ocean swim preceding the funnel into Providence Bay Park for transition. The Hawks Nest Triathlon presents as a direct one-day multisport event: beach start, park center, followed by roads that should be easy to navigate once physical exertion outpaces thought.
The cycling route follows Tuloa Ave and Mungo Brush Rd, shaping the ride as a straightforward out-and-back before the run leads back toward the finish. The run course proceeds along Coorilla St and The Anchorage, continuing onto The Boulevarde, with a turn at Guya Street before returning to Providence Bay Park. Providence Bay Park hosts the transition area and finish line, establishing the common triathlon pattern of returning to the same area amidst constant activity.
