Location & Maps

The famous Hervey Bay foreshore provides the perfect natural arena for the Hundy Festival. It all takes place a stone’s throw from the water’s edge between Torquay Beach, Gatakers Bay and Scarness Park.

The Scarness foreshore provides the perfect staging point for the Hundy Festival. The race Expo and registration takes place in Scarness Park at the junction of the Esplanade and Queen’s Road, which is also the finish line for the triathlon and aquabike events.

Transition is in the car park adjacent to Scarness Park.

All aquabike competitors use the swim and ride, then run out of transition as marked following the run course, but taking a right u-turn up the finish chute about 200m into the run course

The Giant bike leg utilises a 20km loop of the Esplanade between Torquay and Gatakers Bay. It is here that athletes will encounter the famous “Gatakers Hill”. Competitors will complete four laps of this course, which means they will pass through the transition and finish area a total of eight times. This provides excellent viewing opportunities for spectators who can watch the race while visiting any of the numerous shops and eateries within the race precinct.
The Asics Run Leg is a 6km loop along Hervey Bay’s scenic Esplanade pathway between the Hervey Bay Sailing Club at Torquay and Seafront Oval. Competitors will complete three laps of the run course which will take them through the middle of the race expo site and all the club tents a total of six times before crossing the finish line in Scarness Park. The carnival atmosphere of the transition/finish area provides a welcome boost for competitors each time they pass through and there is ample opportunity for spectators to give their family, friends or clubmates a cheer or a sledge. Aid stations are located at the western turn at Seafront oval, near the transition area and near Tavistsock Street towards the eastern end of the run course.
