Event Overview
Cable Beach Triathlon runs across 17-19 July 2026 in Broome, Western Australia, with a weekend schedule that includes an 800m open water swim and the main Cable Beach Triathlon. The event offering also lists a 5km Dash for Cash. For athletes considering the triathlon, bike-leg options are described as 10km, 20km, or 40km, with corresponding one, two, or four-lap formats. Team entries are available for shared-leg participation.
What the Course Demands
The event is built around a straightforward, speed-focused layout. The swim is held at Cable Beach, and the bike leg follows a flat, multi-lap course through Sunset Park and out toward Lullfitz Drive, with longer categories completing more laps. The run uses a lap-based format through the Cable Beach tourist precinct, finishing at the amphitheater after a final approach along the footpath.
Who This Event Suits Best
This race suits athletes who prefer a flat course profile and want a controlled, lap-based race structure for pacing and logistics. It can also work well for first-time triathletes, given the option to enter as a team and split legs across participants. Athletes targeting a shorter-format open water swim also have a standalone 800m event to consider during the weekend program.
