The "stunning Altona Beach foreshore" is the key location: this is Race 1 of a club run-bike-run series, not a large-scale event. The WSTC Duathlon Series: Race 1 maintains a straightforward format, with categories for juniors to adults, and is open to both club members and non-members.
The run courses follow the "picturesque foreshore path", featuring flat terrain and opportunities to see other participants. The bike leg extends along the "full length of the Esplanade", allowing for a steady ride before the second run. This event attracts a diverse field: children, newcomers, regular club competitors, and those seeking a competitive winter workout.
