WELCOME TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA
HON ROGER COOK MLA, DEPUTY PREMIER; MINISTER FOR TOURISM
AND
HON ALANNAH MACTIERNAN MLC, MINISTER FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The McGowan Government is a proud sponsor of Busselton Festival of Triathlon through
its Regional Events Program.
The program was devised as a way for the Government to support medium to large
events in regional Western Australia to boost tourism, increase community vibrancy and
participation, and develop regional areas.
The Regional Events Program also plays an important role in positioning Western
Australia as an exciting destination to visit and a great place to live by showcasing and
promoting a region’s unique and diverse attractions.
Tourism is a key part of the Government’s plan to diversify the economy, create jobs and
develop business opportunities particularly to help regional economies and
communities in Western Australia.
Events play an important role in this plan, with the Government sponsoring a range of
sporting, cultural, arts and culinary events across the State, through Tourism Western
Australia, to attract visitors, encourage them to stay longer, disperse further and do more
while they are here.
We hope everyone enjoys this event and takes the time to explore the South West
region.

WELCOME NOTE
On behalf of Triathlon WA (TWA) we are pleased to once again be hosting the
SunSmart Busselton Festival of Triathlon. This year will see the 21st edition of the
festival along with the inaugural SunSmart Busselton 100. We are excited to present
this new brand and event distances, while maintaining the legacy and history of the
State Long Course Championships.
The festival will also see the inclusion of the Busselton Foreshore Triathlon, a sold-out

Busselton Fun Run. These events together provide opportunities for the triathlon
community and the wider Southwest Community to take part in. We thank everyone
who has chosen to be part of the festival in 2022, whether it is as a competitor,

A MESSAGE FROM OUR TITLED SPONSOR
Healthway, through SunSmart, proudly supports Triathlon Western Australia’s 2022 Busselton
Festival of Triathlon.
We have been working with Triathlon WA to ensure this regional event remains sun safe, as
spending long periods outdoors during peak UV times can put people at risk of skin damage.
This event provides a great opportunity for everyone, including children, to lead healthy active
lifestyles, enjoy the healthy food and drinks on offer and learn about spending time safely
outdoors.
Triathlon WA plays a valuable role in creating healthy and sun safe environments amongst
triathlon clubs across the state, and we look forward to working with them this year to create
more activities and events that support good health now and into the future.
If you are competing, watching, or volunteering at this year’s SunSmart Busselton Festival of
Triathlon remember to follow the Cancer Council WA’s recommendations to Slip, Slop, Slap,
Seek and Slide. You can find more information by visiting the Cancer Council WA website at
www.myuv.com.au.
Good luck to everyone participating in this iconic event!

past the coastline during spring each year.

ATHLETE GUIDE
A MESSAGE FROM THE RACE REFEREE
On behalf of Triathlon Western Australia, I would like to welcome all athletes taking part in the
SunSmart Busselton 100, which in 2022 is also the WA State Long Course Championships. The
team of technical officials appointed to the event are here to ensure that you have a safe, fun, fair
and memorable event. The Athlete Information Guide contains the answers for the majority of
questions you will have in regard to the event. Please take the time to read and understand the
contents of the guide. Should you have any remaining queries not answered by reading the
Athlete Guide or the relevant rules, I will be happy to chat with you over the event weekend. I
encourage all athletes to familiarise themselves with the Triathlon Australia Race Competition
rules applicable to this event. As Triathlon is an individual race against the clock, it is your
responsibility to fully understand the rules and avoid infringements.
Common Blue Card Penalty- 5 minutes to be served at the next penalty box include:
·Drafting – Failing to maintain a 12m gap between you and the cyclist in front
·Illegal Pass – Passing on the left
Common Yellow Card Penalties- 30 seconds to be served in the nearest penalty box for include:
·Blocking- Failure to keep left, blocking the course
·Helmet – Failure to keep your helmet fastened when moving with your bike
Note- That any 3 infringements across the course during the event may result in a DQ
Common Red Card Penalties include:
·Littering – Discarding items outside of the discard zones
·Electronic Equipment- The use of any equipment including telephones, earphones, and other
devices
Always remember to treat other athletes, volunteers, officials and spectators with courtesy and
consideration as failure to do so is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and may result in a DQ.
We are especially fortunate to have the support of the City of Busselton and the scenic and
picturesque surrounds of Geographe Bay and Tuart Forest in which to conduct the event.
Littering in these environs creates a long-lasting visual impact and potential hazards for the local
flora and fauna. Littering is also in contravention of the TA Race Rules .
Celebrating your achievements with family, friends, and teammates after an event of this size is
an important part of racing however, the finish chute and finish line area are for athletes only. This
is for the safety of you, your fellow athletes and your family and friends. Any athlete being
accompanied down the finish chute by non-competitors will be disqualified.
I hope you have a great race and achieve your goals at SunSmart Busselton 100, and I look
forward to seeing you all reach the finish

course is on the East side of the Jetty.
A beach start awaits before swimming parallel to the jetty in a northerly direction for 750m giving
spectators a great vantage point while enjoying a morning stroll on the jetty. Swimmers will then
head in a North Easterly direction for 250m to the halfway mark before a right-hand turn and
another 250m segment in a south easterly direction to avoid the rising sunlight. Then it’s time to
turn toward the beach, another 750m back to dry land and the swim exit in front of Barnard Park.
Note: Those wanting to warm up for the swim are requested to do so on the west (left hand side) of
the main jetty. Each wave will be invited into the start area before their wave start. Competitors
should only enter the start area via the back of the fenced area and ensure they cross the timing
mats – this is to ensure all swimmers are accounted for and so we ensure everyone has started in
the correct wave.
WETSUITS
The Triathlon Australia appointed Technical Delegate will take the water temperature 24 hours
before race start and the reading will be displayed at race registration on Friday 29 April 2022. The
water temperature will be taken again on Race Morning and the wearing of wetsuits will be
conditional upon the water temperature. The expected water temp for May will be in the vicinity of
19 degrees Celsius, in which case wetsuits will be optional. Wetsuits must only be removed and left
at your numbered bike rack.

Wetsuits are not permitted for Open Field if the water is above 22°C.
If the combined air and water temperature are deemed dangerously low, the race referee (in
conjunction with water safety) can rule it a compulsory wetsuit swim. This has occurred in the
past so it is advised that all athletes bring a wetsuit.
If a wetsuit is to be worn, then:
The wetsuit must be tight to the body while swimming. If any part of the wetsuit can separate
from the body in any phase of the stroke it is considered an artificial propulsion device and the
wetsuit is banned.
The wetsuit must not be thicker than 5mm and must comply with Triathlon Australia Rules. A
standard variance will be allowed to account for seams and jersey material (non-buoyant).
Speedo Tri Elite Full sleeved wetsuit is banned.

worn.

course if deemed medically necessary.
