Perfectly situated on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, amongst Queensland’s 74 Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island provides an idyllic backdrop for the Hamilton Island Triathlon. The undulating landscape of Hamilton Island’s interior, of which 70 per cent is preserved, and surrounding turquoise waters offer the perfect setting for the event’s competitive 750 metre swim in Catseye Bay, a 20 kilometre cycle around the southern part of Hamilton Island encompassing the airport runway and a 5 kilometre run around the marina and resort sides of Hamilton Island.
