‘Creating Extraordinary’; one of its own mantras, an ideal Hamilton Island strives to achieve in its service throughout its resort, its restaurants and activities. It also extends to its Endurance Series; its portfolio of boutique sporting events held in the idyllic Whitsundays.

It’s not just the location that makes this race unique.

Sunday sees the Junior Triathlon and the Whitehaven Beach Ocean Swim. The kids get the full treatment; bibs, tattoos, ITU racking, silicone swim caps, medals and timing.
