Did the Olympic in 2019

Sorry, but can’t recommend this Tri; indeed quite the opposite...! The bike course was atrocious, that many potholes and broken tarmac that a mountain bike would have been more suitable. The bike rack area was poorly manned with inadequate checks on bikes, people entering at will and no tags on competitor bags to match with owners - a potential free for all. The cost was extortionate when you consider there was no T-Shirt included and NO post race sustenance just some water/ High-5 drinks - no post race food is unbelievable. The atmosphere was unremarkable and certainly nothing to get excited about. As a reasonably experienced triathlete I’d say this was possibly the worse run event I’ve ever attended. Hope the organisers plan an honest review.

Did the Sprint in 2018

On the instructions it says cycle on the right, pass on the left. This was changed in the brief to ride on the left, pass on the right.needs clarification.

Hi, I’ve read some complaints about the bike route. Has the road been resurfaced since those reviews were posted (2017)? Thanks, Giacomo

Hello, I do believe that the roads in Sutton Park have recently had work to repair the potholes. All the best!

Hi I am entering the Spint I have never swam in the lake before could I wear just my ordinary Tri suit or do I have to wear a wet suit in this event?

Stephy Dennis

5/14/2019

Hey there, just to let you know that wetsuits are only compulsory for the Olympic distance, you are more then welcome to wear a Tri suit for this race. All the best!
