The Nepean Triathlon

Australia's oldest triathlon

More than four decades on, the Nepean Triathlon still draws elite athletes, age groupers, first-timers, and the loyalists who wouldn’t miss it for the world. It’s not just a race — it’s a fixture. A ritual. A piece of Australian sporting history that keeps writing itself every November.

Over recent years, we’ve grown the event into the Redline Games Festival – expanding the race distances so more athletes than ever can be part of this epic weekend. 

Whether it’s your first triathlon or your 44th Nepean Tri, there’s a distance for you.

This year, be part of it.

Since 1982, this is the race that started it all. The Nepean distance is the heart of this event — competitive enough to test you, iconic enough to mean something. Race the original.

All the distance. All the glory. No run required. The Classic Aquabike lets you go the full Classic swim and ride without the final run leg — ideal for athletes who want a serious challenge
