EVENT UPDATE
Sunday March 21, 7:12am
A final conditions assessment was done at 6:30am this morning and the final course configuration for today has now been confirmed.
This course is more manageable for our Surf Life Saving teams in these conditions and therefore a safer course for all swimmers in all distances.
All courses start and finish at Mooloolaba Spit and all course distances will still be offered.
Our Check-in Site will also be located at Mooloolaba Spit.
*Time Change: the 1.6km Moololaba Mile now starts at 11:00am (was 11:30am)
