Event Overview
Hervey Bay 100 (HB100) is scheduled for Sunday, 22 November 2026 in Hervey Bay, Queensland. The event is set around the city’s foreshore, with the festival hub, expo, finish line and registration located at Scarness Park near the Esplanade. The advertised race format is a 2km swim, 80km bike and 18km run, using multiple laps that bring athletes back through the transition and spectator precinct repeatedly.
What the Course Demands
The HB100 is built around repeated laps, so athletes need steady pacing and the ability to handle frequent turns and re-entry into the transition/finish precinct. The bike leg uses a loop on the Esplanade between Torquay and Gatakers Bay, including the climb referred to as “Gatakers Hill”. The run is also lap-based and passes through the expo and club area multiple times, rewarding consistent execution over changing rhythm.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits triathletes who perform well in structured, lap-based racing where split management and focus matter as much as raw speed. It can suit athletes who like regular feedback from spectators and officials as they circulate through the main precinct. Competitors should be comfortable with an endurance-distance day and with meeting the published cut-offs across swim, bike and run.
