Briefing notes for both races will be emailed to all entrants and also published on this site about 1 week prior to the event.These races form part of the four day Keswick Mountain Festival. The venue is superb and the course has to be the most picturesque in the country. It sets an early season challenge, but does not have any mega climbs on the bike and you won't have to use your hands on the run, although it is tough with about 1/2 being fell paths. It's a great event in it's own right, but will also act as a taster for what you can expect in the "Day in The Lakes" Half Ironman in June and "Helvellyn" in September.
Photographs with kind permission from Steve Razzetti - www.razzetti.comThe transition area is in Crow Park over the road from the theatre. There will be other events taking place in the park, the program is not finalised yet, but keep checking the KMF website for details. The swim will be in crystal clear Derwent Water (wetsuits compulsory). The cycle section is all on road and follows a route through Keswick towards Thirlmere. Left along St John's in the Vale then along some minor roads before joining the A66 for a short and fast downhill section. It leaves the A66 at Portiscale and follows a fantastically scenic route around the lake and back to transition. The run follows the footpath along the lake shore before joining Borrowdale Rd at Great Wood. It then follows the road to the much photographed Ashness Bridge. At the bridge take the path over Walla Crag (325m) with more fabulous views and then drop back down to finish in Crow Park. NO RELAY OPTION IN 2011.There will be lots of other things taking place on the race day as well as over the whole of the four day Keswick Mountain Festival. It should be well worth making an extended weekend trip. Entry limited to 350. This race filled in 2 days in 2010, don't be disappointed. See the video of last years festival with footage of the triathlon by clicking here. New Short Race. This will be run in conjunction with the longer race. 400m lake swim. The bike is on road one lap of the lake and the run is just about flat along mainly lakeside tracks, but could be damp in a couple of places. There is no relay option in this race. Numbers are restricted to only 200.
