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
- Sprint & Relay entrants will swim 16 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.
- Super Sprint & Fun - 4 laps (5k)
- 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.

How to Relay
After completing the swim, the swimmer passes the electronic chip to the cyclist inside the cycle transition area next to where the cycle is racked. The cyclist must not put their helmet on or take their cycle off the rack until receiving the electronic chip.
The cyclist completes the cycle course and passes the electronic chip over to the runner in the transition area only when the cycle has been placed back on the rack and their helmet has been fully removed.
The runner completes the run and hands in the electronic chip at the finish line.
