Swim
There is a strict 25 minute cut-off for the swim proportion of the race, as anyone in the water longer than this time is likely to feel the effects of the sea. Active Life Ltd. reserve the right to direct anyone still in the water after this time for their own safety.
To prepare for the swim it is recommended to practice swimming at a 750m distance (though the swim length on the day is 500m).
Bike
This relatively flat route is mapped across open roads, both coastal and suburban, bending around beautiful green fields. The 20k course takes a total ascent of 139m.
This single loop route has been updated in response to the feedback of previous participants.
