About the Noosa Triathlon

The Noosa Triathlon is the largest Olympic-distance triathlon in the world, featuring a 1.5 km swim, 40 km cycle, and 10 km run. The event is a highlight on Australia’s sporting calendar and is part of the Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival, which includes running, cycling, and community fitness events across five action-packed days.

The atmosphere in Noosa during Triathlon week is electric, with roadways transformed into race courses, beaches buzzing with activity, and restaurants and shops filled with visitors enjoying the celebrations.


Road & Car Park Closures

To make space for athletes and ensure safety, a number of local roads and car parks will be closed or restricted. These closures are approved by Queensland Police, Main Roads, and local government.

What to expect:

  • Temporary road closures along the cycle and run courses.
  • Restricted access to some car parks, particularly near the river and main event hub.
  • Changed traffic conditions that may create delays for vehicles.

Shuttle Service Information

To help spectators, athletes, and visitors move around during these closures, a shuttle bus service will operate across Noosa. This service makes it easier to get in and out of key areas without needing to worry about roadblocks or parking shortages.

If you’re visiting for boat hire, you may find the shuttle a handy way to reach us if direct road access is impacted.


How This Affects Boardwalk Boat Hire Customers

We know many of our customers are driving in or arriving by public transport. Here’s how to make your visit smoother:

  1. Plan ahead — some of your usual routes into town may be closed.

  2. Allow extra travel time — expect delays due to detours and increased traffic.

  3. Check parking options — certain car parks may not be available.

  4. Use the shuttle — if roads are blocked, the shuttle service is a stress-free way to reach the river.

  5. Stay updated — road conditions can change daily, so check event updates closer to your booking date.


Tips for a Stress-Free Visit

  • Arrive earlier than usual to secure parking and avoid missing out on water time.
  • Travel light where possible if using the shuttle.
  • Enjoy the festival atmosphere — the energy of the Noosa Triathlon adds to the experience of being in town.
