| Venue | Vouliagmeni Olympic Centre |
| Dates | 25–26 August 2004 |

Each competitor starts the event with a 1500-metre open water swim course, followed by a 40 kilometre road bicycle race and finish with a 10 kilometre road run. Both leg transitions (swimming—cycling and cycling—running) are performed in a special transition area, under judge's scrutiny and the duration of the transitions is included in the final time.
A pre-Olympic test event was staged over the Olympic course in October 2003, and saw Denmark's Rasmus Henning and Australia's Michellie Jones winning the men's and women's events.
