The Triathlon Course

Bike: the bike route follows wide open roads out in the countryside. The standard distance is 2 laps.

Run: a flat 5km circuit; over half of the route is a combination of a quiet, rural lane and private farm tracks. The standard distance is 2 laps.

The Party

What better way to celebrate the day than party the night away with other like-minded people?

The post triathlon party starts at 7:00pm and is £15 per person (£10 for under 12 year olds). It includes a 2 course dinner and disco until late with a fully licensed bar. Non-competitors are welcome. Please buy your tickets in advance. 

Enter The Relay

Not sure about doing a whole triathlon? Enter a team of 3 people into either the sprint or the standard distance triathlon. One person completes the swim, the second cycles and then the third does the run.
