Incorporating the iconic Busselton Jetty, the event is renowned as one of the fastest races on the Ironman circuit, with flat bike and run courses that provide ideal conditions for athletes chasing a personal best. Since Ironman Western Australia first joined the Australian calendar in 2004, the event has grown significantly in size, reputation and international appeal.
Today, both the full-distance and 70.3 events are recognised as highlights of the Asia-Pacific triathlon calendar, drawing elite competitors, first-time participants and enthusiastic spectators alike. Beyond the race itself, Busselton's relaxed coastal atmosphere, beautiful beaches and welcoming community make it a memorable destination for competitors and holidaymakers.
The event is also a celebration of the Busselton community, whose support and contribution have helped establish Ironman Western Australia as one of the region's most successful and enduring sporting events.
