1500m SWIM - 40Km BIKE - 10Km RUN
Entries
Now Open
A collaboration between Tri Lakeland Triathlon Club and
TriHard Events, it will be over the Standard or Olympic
Distance. The course is far more conventional than many
of the other Lakeland races. The cycle and run are both
on road and are described as no more than undulating.
The race is based at the beautifully located Bassenthwaite
Sailing Club which has fantastic facilities on site. Only
8 miles from Keswick just off the A66. The start time is
a very user friendly Saturday 1pm, plenty of accommodation
and camping nearby so no need to dash home for work the
next morning.
The
Race HQ and transition area will be in the grounds of the
Sailing Centre. Unfortunately we are not able to offer camping
at the venue however there are campsites nearby, the nearest
being Herdwick
Croft about a mile away. The swim will be a one lap
swim in the lake from the slipway used by the boats. The
bike route and run routes will be on the undulating roads
around Bassenthwaite lake. A slight change from TriHard's
usual Lakeland based Triathlons this will be more a traditional
standard distance race.
There
will be a main open race together with a relay category
(one swimmer, one cyclist, one runner). The race will be
electronically timed.
The
likely routes can be found on the links to the right.
