Sprint: 750m Swim - 20k Bike - 5k Run
Olympic: 1500m Swim - 40k Bike - 10k Run
As always, this event is open to athletes of all abilities and is a perfect introduction to the distance and an ideal opportunity to step up from sprint distance tris for the first time. Open to both individuals and relay teams. The race has been selected for inclusion in the East Midlands Adult Series for 2012.
The swim takes place in the clear wakeboarding lake and precedes a short run to transition. It’s then onto the bike course, where the cycle route takes competitors through some stunning Northamptonshire villages and countryside. Grendon, Easton Maudit, Yardley Hasting, Castle Ashby and Bozeat are all on the race route and provide competitors with some fast rolling terrain.
Back at the Lakes, competitors complete the 4 lap 10k run course which, unlike the bike course, is pancake flat.
Whilst we can’t guarantee you’ll do a fast time, we’re pretty sure you’ll have a great race and enjoy a great venue and atmosphere. And by the time the first competitor is finished, the bar should be open.
