Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Challenge Canberra is a middle-distance race in Australia's capital. A city-centre lake swim, rolling closed parkways and flat lakeside running make it a well-balanced, fast course.
1.9 km swim in Lake Burley Griffin in the heart of the capital - flat, fresh water, usually wetsuit-legal.
90 km rolling ride on closed parkways around the lake and through the Canberra hills; smooth surface with steady undulations rather than long climbs.
21.1 km run on the lakeside paths past the National Museum and Parliamentary triangle - flat and fully off-road in places.
Actual monthly averages from the last 3 years (Open-Meteo). Real race day may vary.
Water temp uses athlete-reported values first, then official race data, then the marine archive (sea swims, measured at the nearest offshore point). Values tagged est. are modelled from recent air temperature for lakes and rivers, where no observational data exists.
