Sandman Triathlon & Duathlon routes

The Sandman Triathlon

This is one of the few triathlons in the calendar with a beach start and a sea swim.

From there athletes will be treated to the unspoilt scenery of Anglesey as they cycle through the rolling hills.

The triathlon will then finish with a trail run through the remarkable pine forests and then over the dunes for the beach finish.

For the Sandman Savage, runners will compete in both the Sprint and Standard triathlon events.

The Sandman Duathlon

Competitors will start with a trail run through Newborough Forest before beginning the cycle along undulating roads taking in views of the scenic coastline. The final run will see competitors heading back into the forest amongst the pine trees before bursting on to the sand for a beach finish.

#36

Always Aim High Events are ranked #36 in the UK out of 566 organizers

Always Aim High Events was founded in 2010 by Tim Lloyd and Nigel 'Kenny' Kendrick. The first event was the now iconic Slateman Triathlon 2011 attracting just over 400 competitors (it now regularly exceeds 1,000), with a vision that included the Snowman and Sandman - the three events which now make up the Adventure Triathlon Series. From that one event we now host 34 all inclusive events over 9 weekends, with many more planned for 2019 and beyond. In 2015 Always Aim High Community Events was set up as a not for profit organisation to help with engaging with and hosting local community events. At Always Aim High we are extremely proud about delivering the UK's ultimate triathlon, cycling, running and swimming challenges in the most beautiful and iconic locations that we can find. From epic mountain, coastal and city triathlons, to breathtaking cycle sportives which cover the length and bredth of Snowdonia, there's something for everyone at Always Aim High Events!
