Event Overview
Lake Esmond Triathlon & Duathlon – Race 3 is part of the Lake Esmond Series run by Ballarat Triathlon Club, scheduled for 29 March 2026 at Lake Esmond (Larter Street) in Ballarat, Victoria. The event offers two triathlon distance options, with formats available for individuals or teams. Participants can also choose to complete one or two disciplines rather than the full triathlon. The event is open to the general public.
What the Course Demands
With short-course options across swim, bike, and run, execution is shaped by frequent transitions and sustained effort at higher intensity relative to the distance. The two offerings (Sovereign and Eureka) suit athletes who can change pace quickly between disciplines and stay organised through the change areas. The club notes safety considerations for younger participants, with pre-approval required for ages 12-17.
Who This Event Suits Best
This race fits athletes new to triathlon, returners looking for a low-barrier event, and those who want a controlled series-style outing. It also suits juniors who meet the age requirements and have approval where required. Team entries and the option to complete only selected disciplines make it appropriate for mixed-ability groups and athletes building confidence across swim, bike, and run.
