BUSSELTON 1OO & AQUABIKE PARTICIPANTS

You will need to attend the day before the race to check in and rack your bike in transition. Your bike must be in transition before close. Registration and bike racking will not be available on race day. You must attend in person as photo ID is required and your pack cannot be picked up by anyone else. Please check the event schedule and athlete guide for exact timings.

BUSSELTON FORESHORE AND KIDS RACE PARTICIPANTS

Your bikes cannot be racked before Race Day. All bikes must be racked on race morning. You can pick your race pack up at any of the registrations times. Please check the event schedule and athlete guide for exact timings.

Updated maps for the 2025 event will be provided on our website in the leadup to the event. They will also be available in hard copy on event day at the registration area, and in the Event Village. Course maps will also be in the athlete guides.

Please see the athlete guide for your event which is published 1 month before event day, or call us on 08 9443 9778 for specific advice. Some general advice is below.

We also reccomend you check out the free Beginners Info Pack on the Triathlon WA website here: https://www.triwa.com.au/beginner-information/

-Bike, bike shoes, bike pump, bike repair kit (spare inner tubes, tools to remove tyres or fix loose chains etc),
-Other gear – running shoes, tri-suit or bathers/athletic wear, goggles.
-Wetsuit (always bring one with you, as the call about wetsuit mandatory/optional is made on race morning when the water temp is measured by officials),
-Filled water bottles, any nutrition products you want to use, safety pins, band-aids and blister patches, a towel, a race belt if you don’t want to use the pins, sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen.
-We do not recommend bringing any valuables (e.g. jewelry, phones, wallets, keys).

SPECTATORS AND ANIMALS:

Any dogs must be well behaved and leashed at all times. Any droppings in and around the event area are to be picked up immediately. While Barnard Park is a public space, animals are not permitted on course, in recovery, transition or starting areas. Please be mindful of athlete movements when taking animals or young children through pedestrian crossing points as bikes can come through the course extremely quickly.

Please make sure any spectators you bring along wear adequate sun protection (slip, slop, slap), and bring filled water bottles and snacks for themselves.

Any young children must be well supervised.

No, the Busselton 100 is owned and run by Triathlon WA and is not affiliated with IRONMAN. The Busselton Festival of Triathlon has always been owned by Triathlon WA and at one stage was run under a license agreement with IRONMAN which was mutually terminated.

It is not part of the IRONMAN series of events and is not a qualifying race to get slots to the Ironman 70.3 World Championships.

We do not accept any responsibility for damaged or lost items, however any lost property that is handed in to our staff will be kept safe. To check lost property, please talk to event staff on the day or contact the office after the event via email [email protected]. Lost property will be kept for up to 2 months after the event, after which time any unclaimed items will be disposed of.

Please return to registration or go to recovery race day. If you have damaged your swim cap there will be spares at the swim start. If you have lost your timing chip please contact our staff immediately.

Please email [email protected] and let our team know your TA Number as soon as possible. Any changes need to be made prior to online entries closing. Unfortunately we are unable to refund your one day license fee.

The TWA member price is only for TWA or Aus Tri Standard or Premium. Please ensure you TWA number is correct to ensure you are paying the correct fees and not requested to pay the One Day licence fee. If you are a non-member, or basic or social member, you will need to One Day Licence fee. For any issues, please contact us on [email protected]

Yes, you do need to pay an ODL. If even one member of the team is not a TA member, an ODL must be paid. If all members of your team are Standard/Premium members then no ODL is required. Please note that the team pays together, not separately.

No, you pay one license for the whole team. This is because only one member of the team is on the course at any time. Please note that the team pays together, not separately.

Check that you have input TA in front of your membership number.

If this still doesn’t work, please contact the office and we will help you with your registration – [email protected]

Still confirming for 2025.

No this is a safety issue and is against AusTriathlon race rules. No headphones (including bone conduction), smart devices, mobile phones etc are allowed to be used during competition.

An exception can be made re:phones and smart devices if you need to utilise heart or blood sugar monitoring for legitimate medical reasons.

We have friendly, helpful staff and volunteers on course. Kids will be well supervised across all legs of the race. If you need more info, please send us an email with your specific concerns: [email protected]

Swim cap, race numbers and safety pins. They get a finishers medal at the finish line too!

Goggles and bathers (you can wear a rash shirt), bike, bike helmet, running shoes, singlet or t-shirt (if the torso isn’t covered by bathers), socks, filled water bottle, towel, sunscreen and sun hat.

It’s also a good idea to have a small personal race kit that you take to all events. This little kit would contain things like a basic bike repair kit (for flat tyres and loose chains), spare tyre tube, bike pump, extra safety pins, and Band-Aids.

We suggest you check out the free Beginners Information Guide on the Triathlon WA website for further general info that might be helpful: https://www.triwa.com.au/beginner-information/

A standard road bike or mountain bike will be fine. Basically, any kind of standard kids bike will do for kids races. The bike must have operational breaks and be in good, safe working order. E-bikes are not permitted.

The family wave is an option in the Short distance kids triathlon (7-15 years).

In this wave one (1) parent or guardian is allowed to assist their child during swim, transition and the run leg. The adult does not pay a fee, and can swim and run alongside their child. Adults may not cycle alongside their child as having adult bikes on the kids course is a safety issue. This is a great option for kids who haven’t quite got the swim, bike, run skills to compete alone yet but want to have a go.
