The sun's out and the surf's up in October on Straddie
(4 October 2010)

In only its third year, The Straddie Salute is fast becoming an iconic, must-do event on Queensland's multisport calendar.

Swim, bike and run your way around one of Queensland’s most beautiful island destinations and salute the last of the Humpback Whales as they migrate south on their annual pilgrimage.

Set on North Stradbroke Island, the Straddie Salute is a breathtaking experience on Brisbane’s doorstep. Swim the crystal clear waters, ride the scenic 4WD tracks and roads and run along one of the most beautiful coastal trails in Queensland.  Take up the challenge or grab a couple of mates, enter a team and join the fun!

THE COURSE:

  • 600m Ocean Swim
  • 18km Mountain Bike (Offroad & road)
  • 8km Coastal Run

This event can be entered as an individual or as a 3 person team. This year you can also participate in a new event the Unimin Straddie 1000 Ocean swim. All the details can be found at www.weekendwarriors.com.au

Following hot on the heels of the Salute, the Point Lookout Boardrider's present the 2010 Straddie Assault on the 16th and 17th of October at Point Lookout. The Straddie Assault was intiated by local surfing legend Russel Specht and is the longest running surfing teams competition in the world. It attracts teams of surfers representing clubs from Noosa to Ballina who battle it out over two days of spectacular surfing.
