One of the most scenic courses anywhere: reef swim, coastal-highway bike and a flat esplanade run.
Swim in the sheltered Coral Sea off Palm Cove, warm tropical water and reef-protected calm.
Spectacular Captain Cook Highway ride between rainforest and ocean, with continuous rollers and a few longer climbs.
Flat three-lap run on the Cairns Esplanade beside the water, cool by tropical standards in June.
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.
