KC Australia Merchandise Pre-Orders
All merchandise pre-orders via the registration portal this year will be posted to your nominated shipping address ahead of the event. This is because in past years, our supplier has had a lot of unclaimed pick-up orders on race weekend.
If you select add on merch items (not including the ODL fee, Free Participant Tee, MiTime insert, or Bossfoto Pack) then a flat $10 fee will be added at checkout to cover postage via our supplier, KC Australia. This postage fee applies per transaction and will only be a max of $10 (for Australia-wide postage) no matter how many merchandise items you select.
KC Australia will reach out directly to any competitors that require international shipping.
2026 marks a milestone moment for the Busselton Festival of Triathlon (BFOT) as we celebrate 25 incredible years of sport and community. As one of Western Australia’s most iconic multisport events, we’re thrilled to deliver a fresh lineup of races and an even more exciting festival experience.
And what better way to mark this silver anniversary than by introducing four thrilling new race formats: the Busselton 5, Busselton 25, Busselton 50, and the Duathlon 100.
- The Busselton 5 is the new format of our kids triathlon, making it a 5km total race distance.
- The Busselton 25 is the equivalent of a sprint distance, offering a fast and fun option for newer athletes or those looking for a shorter challenge.
- The Busselton 50 bridges the gap between sprint and long course, offering a standard distance that’s perfect for athletes ready to step up from short course racing.
- The Duathlon 100 introduces a non-swimming long course event to the lineup, giving multisport athletes a new way to test themselves across run and bike disciplines.
Our iconic Busselton 100 triathlon and Aquabike events will be continuing in 2026 too!
We've also added more participant benefits, switched up our participant items, and will be making the post-race function on Sunday evening even more fun. Read more on our event website!
2026 will be a celebration of where we’ve come from, and a bold step toward where we’re headed. Join us on 1 – 3 May 2026 at Barnard Park Busselton and be part of the legacy of this iconic event.
