2025 World Triathlon Championship Finals Wollongong
Welcome to Wollongong—a breathtaking arena where speed, strategy, and agility collide in the ultimate showdown. This is not just a race; it’s a celebration of elite athleticism against one of the most stunning backdrops on Earth.
Nestled on Dharawal Country, Wollongong is a dazzling jewel between the majestic Illawarra escarpment and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Just 80km south of Sydney, our city offers a spectacular mix of lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and urban energy.
But there’s more to Wollongong than its natural beauty. It’s a place that buzzes with innovation, boasting a world-class university and a thriving start-up scene. Here, city vibes meet small-town warmth, creating a vibrant, welcoming community you’ll fall in love with.
Picture this: athletes tearing through a coastal course lined with iconic Norfolk Pines, the shimmering sea to one side, and the dramatic escarpment towering above. No other destination captures the spirit of triathlon quite like Wollongong. Let the games begin!
