OLYMPIC AND SPRINT (SWIM)

Swim

The swim is everything you may expect from a tropical holiday destination. A picturesque beach start, calm warm water (29C) and great visibility. It’s like swimming in an aquarium. The swim course is protected by the Nongsa Point Marina, so even currents are absent.

Olympic distance has Wave 1 only: Elite athletes start in front, followed by Men’s Competitive, Women’s Competitive & Friendly Wave in no particular order

Olympic Swim Course

Sprint Swim Course

OLYMPIC AND SPRINT (BIKE)

Bike

The bike course consists of a 12km lap through the lush and undulating resort area of Nongsa, Batam. Olympic distance athletes must complete 3 laps before taking the road back to transition, Sprint distance athletes just one lap. Roads are wide and smooth with low rolling resistance. A few punchy hills is all the resistance cyclists will face. Total elevation is 700m for the Olympic distance and 284m for the Sprint distance. The bike lap has one aid station with water bottles.

Olympic Bike Course : 40km (700m Total Elevation)

Sprint Bike Course: 16km (284m Total Elevation)

OLYMPIC AND SPRINT (RUN)

Run

The run course consists of a 5km lap (2 laps Olympic Distance, 1 lap Sprint Distance) through the beautiful resort and neighbouring estate. Also the run course has a few undulations, but nothing big or steep. The road surface is mostly tarmac with a few paved paths. Drink stations with water, isotonic drinks and cold sponges are available at least every two kilometers.

Olympic Run Course : 10km (224m Total Elevation)

Sprint Run Course: 5km (112m Total Elevation)

BATAM SWIM CLASSIC

Swim Classic

Stay tuned for full course details. The plan features an epic start venue and a proper open water swim, with a little sprinkle of adventure. Although the atmosphere will be chilled and the South China Sea conditions soothing – the water is calm, warm (29C) with great visibility – It is still a race with timing, finisher medals and trophies.

FUN DUO CHALLENGE

Fun Duo Challenge

The Fun Duo Challenge is back! At the end of a weekend full of competitions, this is a great way to introduce beginners and the younger kids to the sport of triathlon where distances are shorter and the fun element higher. Teams of 2 have to complete a run, a swim, and then finish the race piggyback (or other creative) style. Prizes will be given out to the teams displaying “outstanding” style, strategy, teamwork and finish line moment!

Note: course starts at the finish (arch) and finishes at the start (pen). Just for fun.
