Swim
Start with a 1900m swim in the beautiful Capability Brown designed lake. With a trickle start, competitors will enter the water in pairs and complete two laps of the course.
Bike
A course with something for everyone. Flat sections for the time triallers and some cheeky climbs for the mountain goats! The ride will take you through the picturesque Warwickshire countryside and include some climbs and descents on the Edge Hill escarpment, including the infamous Edge Hill itself before returning to Park Farm.
Total Elevation: 888m Road type - mostly minor roads, good road surfaces

The undulating course through meadows and woodlands will eventually bring you to the finish line in front of the beautiful tree-lined lake.
