Since its first race in 1983 the competition has evolved from a single day race into an annual five-day multisport festival celebrating sports participation, healthy lifestyles, fitness and fun. The feature event on the final day of the festival is the Noosa Triathlon.

In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Noosa Triathlon was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as an “event and festival”.

Participants who have completed the event 30 times as individuals are awarded “Golden Legend” status. Standard “Legends Club” membership is after 10 events (recipients too numerous to list presently).
