Event Overview
SquareOne Women’s Triathlon is hosted by Warringah Triathlon Club at North Head in Sydney Harbour National Park, with the event based around Scenic Drive, Manly. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday 22 March with a 6:30am start. Athletes can choose between Enticer and Sprint triathlon formats, with duathlon options also available over equivalent course distances. The event is chip-timed with segment results published, and it sits within the club’s broader seasonal race calendar.
What the Course Demands
This race uses the North Head venue, where the club describes the bike and run as flat and fast, supporting steady pacing and clean execution across disciplines. The logistics require early planning, with transition closing at 5:50am and a stated walk of around 30 minutes from transition to the swim start at Collins Beach. Smooth transitions and clear pre-race routines tend to matter on this compact, timed format.
Who This Event Suits Best
This women’s-only event suits athletes who prefer a supportive club-race setting while still wanting full electronic timing and published splits. The Enticer options fit newer participants building confidence across disciplines, while the Sprint formats suit those ready to test sustained effort and sharper transitions. The inclusion of duathlon formats also makes the event accessible to athletes who prefer a run-bike-run structure rather than the swim leg.
Preparing for This Event
If you are considering this event and want some structure around your preparation, a targeted training plan can help you arrive feeling confident rather than underprepared. The aim is not to train harder, but to train in a way that suits the distance, terrain, and likely conditions of the course.
Choosing a plan is optional, but having structure can remove uncertainty and make training easier to repeat week to week. The best option is the one that fits your current fitness, available time, and experience level.
