This is a live document and updates after July 22nd will be be made in blue type. I strongly suggest you check these notes for last minute updates before leaving for the event.
Just a reminder. Your feet will be sandy when you get to your transition spot after the swim, you might like to put in an extra towel to clean them off quickly before putting your shoes on.
Car Parking and Changing Facilities
There is free car parking in the long stay car park on Kirkleatham Street Redcar, TS10 1TD. This is next to the new Redcar Leisure Centre where there are free toilet/changing/showering facilities for the triathlon. This is 800m from the transition area. There is pay and display car parking on Majuba Road (£3 all day) a very short distance from transition. Toilet facilities at Tuned are limited, PLAN AHEAD.
