the most challenging course in the country.

56 miles
(90k)cycle - including the Kirkstone Pass
12.5
miles (20k)run - mix of track, fell and road

The inaugural ADIL
triathlon in 2009 was a tremendous success attracting entries from 480
athletes. Feedback was very good, the venue and course worked fantastically
well. There are no planned changes to the course for the 2011 race.
The venue is superb
with camping/caravans and all facilities on site at
As you might expect
from a TriHard event the route will present quite a challenge. The swim
will be in refreshing crystal clear Ullswater, Helvellyn competitors
will know what I mean. The bike will be one loop taking in the Kirkstone
Pass (from Patterdale) and Shap Fell. The run is not finalised, but
will be a mix of road, track and fell along the base of Barton Fell
taking in Howtown, Fusedale and Martindale.
There is also be a
relay race comprising a separate, swimmer, cyclist and runner.
New
for 2011. The
Lake District is a great place for a days triathlon and it's a great
place for a weekend stay. The transition field is massive with ample
car parking and camping right on the field. That's fine for you while
you are out enjoying yourself on the course but what about the rest
of the family? This year there will be loads to do, we have arranged
a series of outdoor focused activities particularly, but not exclusively,
aimed at younger visitors. There will be a climbing wall, mountain bike
skills course, small scoot along mountain bikes for the very young,
archery, kayaking, raft building and racing and hopefully much more.
There will also be catering facilities on the field and the real bonus
over 2010....England aren't playing in the World Cup Finals.
Volunteers
We are always looking for marshals to help with races.
If you help us with this or any of the other TriHard races we will look
after you with a pre race meal the night before and we will also give
you a free entry into any of our races for either yourself or a friend
to use. If you would like to help us out then please contact us using
the contact us link at the top of this page.

If you look very closely you can just see the line of
swimmer across the lake.
