Event Overview
BRAC Dash & Splash Series Race 3 is part of the Dash & Splash series hosted at Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre in Broome, Western Australia. The 2026 Race 3 is scheduled for Friday 29 May 2026. It is a run-swim duathlon with two options: a short course (2km run and 200m swim) and a long course (4km run and 400m swim). Entries may be completed individually, with some duo options available depending on category.
What the Course Demands
The format rewards smooth pacing and efficient transitions between the run and the pool swim. The run route starts on Cable Beach Road East, follows the footpath onto Gubinge Road, then returns to BRAC before moving into the pool area for the swim in the main pool. With short overall duration, the event tends to be decided by sustained effort close to threshold and minimal time lost during changeover.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits athletes looking for a short, structured run-swim race and those who prefer a pool swim rather than an open-water start. The short course works well for newer participants and juniors, while the long course is a better fit for athletes comfortable with a faster change of discipline and a more demanding overall effort. Duo categories also suit pairs sharing the workload.
