Shropshire Triathlon

Going through the Shropshire & Welsh Countryside, the mount & dismount line will be situated just inside Cremorne Gardens. There will be one feed station on the bike course which will be in Ellesmere, by the lake, after your first lap.

After collecting your bike, walk or run to the cycle mount line where you commence the cycle section of the race. Keep to the left at all times except when overtaking. Follow the “Cycle Route” signs around the course and follow any instruction from any officials or marshals. Dismount your cycle at the end of the cycle course, do not unfasten your helmet until you have racked your cycle.

Abide by the highway code, failure to ride safely will constitute an instant disqualification. Keep hold of spent gel bar wrappers until you can dispose of them properly. Make sure you have plenty of drinks on your cycle before you start the event. Do not use the feed station at the start of the cycle lap unless you are taking part in the middle distance.

When you finish the bike course enter the Cycle Transition Area and rack your cycle.

Your race number must be clearly visible on your front before leaving the Cycle Transition Area.
