Husky Triathlon Festival 2026

Event Overview

The Shimano Husky Triathlon Festival is a multi-event weekend in Huskisson, New South Wales, staged across 28–29 March 2026. The program includes Super Sprint, Sprint, Classic and Ultimate triathlons on Saturday, plus an AquaBike option. The festival also hosts TriKidz aquathon races on Sunday and a separate multi-day Husky Ultra format scheduled across the same week, finishing over the weekend in Huskisson.

What the Course Demands

Across the festival, athletes can expect point-to-point or looped bay swims at Shark Net Beach, followed by bike courses that head west toward Woollamia on closed roads for several events. The Ultimate and Classic bikes are described as undulating, and the run legs trace the Jervis Bay foreshore with turning points in Vincentia. Managing pacing across multiple laps and consistent effort on rolling terrain is a common theme.

Who This Event Suits Best

This festival suits a wide range of triathletes, from first-timers targeting the Super Sprint to experienced athletes preparing for the Ultimate distance. The Classic and AquaBike formats suit athletes wanting a mid-range workload on the main race day. The Husky Ultra is best matched to athletes comfortable with multi-day racing logistics and the requirement for a dedicated support crew.
