Route information
Half Distance Triathlon:
Swim:
A leisurely midday start sees the first competitors setting off on their epic journey. The 1900 metre swim takes place in the safe, calm waters of Allerthorpe Lakeland Park. Experience the freedom and enjoyment of open water swimming with the full support of a very experienced water safety crew.
With great visibility throughout the swim and an easy to navigate swim course, you can focus your attention on achieving your best effort for the swim, whilst your supporters will be able to enjoy a view of the entire swim course as you  tackle the first discipline of the Sundowner Tri.
Bike:
Having completed the swim you’ll soon experience the flat, fast quiet country roads around Allerthorpe (just 10 miles from York).
Feed stations are available on route for you to re-fuel as you tackle the beautiful, scenic 90 kilometre bike route.
The 2 lap circuit is fully signed and our Freebird marshals will encourage and direct you all the way, making the course very easy to navigate.
Completing the first lap, enjoy the fantastic support from the crowd as you take on fuel and settle down into lap two.
Run:
Swim and bike complete, you’ve just got the final part of your triathlon to go. The 21km run is made up of 3 laps, beginning with a short loop around the lakes before heading out of the park on a buzzing out and back circuit. The atmosphere on the run is amazing as runners fill the roads. With 5 feed stations on each lap, we’ll keep you fuelled as you pound out the kilometres.
Returning back to Allerthorpe Lakeland Park, enjoy those final moments and experience the crowd of supporters welcoming you back to cross the finish line having completed the Sundowner Triathlon.
Sprint Triathlon:
Swim:
Starting with a 750 metre swim, in the calm waters, the Sundowner Sprint Tri kicks off this great weekend of triathlon.
Great visibility and a very easy to navigate swim course means you can focus your attention on achieving your best swim effort while we look after the smooth running of the event.
Your supporters are able to enjoy a view of the entire swim course as you experience the freedom and enjoyment of open water swimming with the full support of our very experienced water safety crew.
Bike:
Completing the swim, you will soon enter the transition area, located very close to the swim exit. From here you head out onto the 20 kilometre circuit around Allerthorpe (just 10 miles from York).
You can be assured that the bike course is very easy to navigate with signs located at every road junction along with highly experienced marshals to direct you.
The Yorkshire roads are particularly flat and set in beautiful countryside. The quiet and very good surfaced roads makes the bike circuit a pleasure to ride.
Run:
Having completed 2 disciplines you now just have the 5 kilometre out and back run to go.
Heading back out of the lakeland park you’ll experience the friendly, supportive atmosphere as you start your run. As expected good signage and marshals are located at every road junction along with the enthusiasm and support form our Freebird support crew.
Having reached the turnaround point you have a final 2.5km to go before reaching the finish and the applauds of the supporters cheering you home.

ARRIVAL
We advise competitors to arrive at least one hour before before the start of their race to ensure they have plenty of time to rack their bikes before the first wave of competitors and also gives everyone time to find their way around the course and feel comfortable with the transition areas.

We will be in touch before this, keeping you up to date with any race information, training tips and ideas that might just help you achieve a PB!
