MOOLOOLABA TRIATHLON 2021
Sunshine Coast Council is pleased to support
the 2021 Mooloolaba Triathlon and extends a
warm welcome to participants and supporters.
Our Sunshine Coast is widely recognised as the
natural home of triathlon – and our Council’s
long standing, extensive support for well over a
decade for this event is testament to the value
we place on providing this opportunity in our

beaches, our beautiful hinterland and the wide
array of attractions on offer.
Our Sunshine Coast also has plenty to offer
when it comes to local produce, craft beer, fine
