Today's competition is the third of the five-race winter series. In its sixth year, the event is open to all runners with three courses – the long course of 3.2km run, 14km cycle and 3.8km run; a short course of a 1.5km run, 6.4km cycle and 2.3km run; and the children's course is a 500m run, 3.5km cycle and 500m run.

The children are off first at 9.30am with the short and long courses starting at 10am.

A reporter at the scene says organisers are expecting about 100 competitors in today's races – a jump from last year's 80 entries.

Keep checking the website for photographs as SunLive is there to cover some of the action.
