Description: |
Swim in the calm waters of the protected bay of Palawan Beach, run on the attractive and green Sentosa Boulevard and have a grand finale at the festive beach finish.
The course does not just provide for a fast and exciting competition, but is also very competitor friendly.
- Small Wave Starts: the number of athletes that start per wave are kept low to avoid the hectic surge into the water that sometimes comes with a beach start.
- Calm Sea: The protected bay of Palawan Beach keeps waves and currents at bay.
- Easy Navigation: The course is completely roped off. All you have to do is follow the rope.
- No overlapping wave starts: The race starts in such time intervals that only the very fast swimmers may catch up with the least fast of the previous wave.
- Beach turn: the Sprint Distance course gives the less able swimmers a little respite at the beach turn half way and a shallow section on the return leg.
- Drink stations: stay hydrated and refreshed with drink stations every 1.5-2km on the run course.
- Shade: stay cool at the run that enjoys sun protection for a big part of the course from the tree cover.
- Festival: the pretty beach, vibrant atmosphere, races for all ages and spectator friendly course makes the Aquathlon a party for both the athletes and spectators.
The run winds through scenic Sengkang Riverside Park and the park connector along Sungei Punggol. The first and final 100m of the run are on grass. The wide, flat roads of Sengkang West guarantee fast times on the bike course with green vistas and shade from the LRT as a bonus.
The course does not just provide for a fast and exciting competition, but is also very competitor friendly.
- Wide Start: so plenty of space for everyone to get into their stride from the word Go! .
- Drink station: stay hydrated and refreshed with a drink station halfway on the run.
- Straight roads: Only the U-turns on the bike course require some cycling skills.
- Festival: The vendor booths at the festival area, vibrant atmosphere, races for all ages, and spectator friendly course makes the Duathlon a party for both the athletes and spectators.
A calm Changi Beach swim is followed by a flat bike ride on the wide Changi Coastal Road, a shaded run in the green Changi Beach Park and festive finish at the festival grounds.
The course does not just provide for a fast and exciting competition, but is also very competitor friendly.
