Please note: There is no pack pickup or bike racking available on race morning. All Busselton 100, Duathlon 100, Busselton 50 and Busselton Aquabike athletes must collect their packs and rack their bikes on Saturday 2 May 2026 at the times advertised above.
All Busselton 100, Busselton 50, and Busselton Aquabike athletes must bring a wetsuit with them on race day in case the race ruling on the morning is wetsuit mandatory. This is a call made by technical officials on race morning after they measure the air and water temp, so it’s best to be prepared.
A comprehensive athlete guide will be available in April (1 month prior to the event) and emailed directly to registered competitors. Stick around after your race and join us on Sunday evening for the Award Ceremony!
