About the event

The Sri Chinmoy Googong Challenge returned for its 8th edition on Sunday 16 September in 2012. The short course is no cake-walk, while the long course can be best described as strenuous - the perfect tune-up for the Sri Chinmoy Triple-Triathlon. Long and short races started from the Googong Foreshores Car Park (northern end) at 10 am.

Both races are open to solo athletes and teams of 2 or 3 members. Registration is from 8.30 am to 9.30 am at the Googong Foreshores (northern) Car park.

Short Course (grade - demanding): 3.3 km run / 5 km paddle / 11 km mountain bike / 3.3 km run

Long Course (grade - strenuous): 5 km run / 10 km paddle / 31 km mountain bike / 5 km run

NOTE: Because the races finish at the London Bridge Woolshed at the southern end of the reserve, solo athletes are strongly advised to bring a helper / driver. The helper may assist the athlete bringing the paddle craft into and out from the water, and transport the paddle craft and car to meet the athlete at the finish. One helper may assist more than one athlete.
