Route information
Swim
The swim portion of the event will be laps in the pool, ensuring a straightforward start to the event.
- Super Sprint & Fun entrants will swim 8 lengths

Bike
A mainly flat and quite a technical course, the bike ride is an 18k loop around the countryside. With fully closed-roads and a flat ride, entrants can focus on cruising the roads.
It is compulsory to wear a cycle helmet on the cycle section of the event.
See here for an interactive route map.
Run
In similar fashion, the run route follows closed, flat roads, ensuring runners can enjoy the scenery instead of a challenging route. The course will be looped, with runners completing laps to run their chosen distance.

- Sprint & Relay - 2 laps (2.5k)
See here for an interactive route map.
All competitors must count their own swim lengths in the pool, their own laps on the bike and run.
