Sunday June 27th 2010
Entries now open
The classic 1/2 Ironman distance
or 70.3 whatever you want to call it. But over a fantastic and possibly
the most challenging course in the country.
1.2
mile swim in Ullswater – England’s most beautiful lake
56 miles cycle – including the Kirkstone Pass
13 miles 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. So it’s full steam ahead for the 2010 race. The course will remain
the same, Fusedale will remain in he run.
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.

in the Lakes" Entrants. If you are
entered in the "A Day in the Lakes" Triathlon on June 27th
you can take advantage of a free open water coaching session to be held
