Triathlon

Location

Less than one-kilometre away from the National Sailing Centre on the south-eastern part of Singapore, the venue for triathlon is situated along the East Coast Park, Singapore’s largest and most popular public beach and park. The area offers a wide range of facilities – food, recreation, entertainment and sports.

History

East Coast Park has been the location for the Osim Singapore Triathlon, an international Olympic-distance triathlon event that has grown steadily from 500 participants in 2002 to 3,800 participants in 2007.

Participants will swim in the open sea, then switch to the scenic and tropical green setting of the East Coast Park road for the cycle and run segments.

Featuring a 7.5-kilometre sandy beach, the East Coast Park offers a diversity of flora and fauna, nature and recreation. It has large open spaces, lagoons, fitness areas, barbeque pits and a 12-kilometre cycling, roller-blading and jogging track.

How to get there

East Coast Park is accessible via public buses and taxi.
