Briefing

The race will be under British Triathlon (BT) rules. Remember we are all volunteers so please be patient and respectful on the day.

The swim will be a deep water mass start (for both races). Each distance (800m/1500m) will swim in a different part of the lake and have different buoys. For the 800m route, the route Is one full loop of the buoys then to the first buoy again and back to the start. For the 1500m route ( approximately 1550m), the route Is one full loop of the buoys, then to the first and second buoy again, then a straight cut back to the start. The routes will again be made clear in the race briefing. The swimming will be marshalled so not swimming the correct route or swimming around the buoys will cause time penalties.

Wetsuits are recommended. At the end of the swim you will exit the water take of any wetsuits, goggles, hats etc. and put on your running shoes. For the sprint race the run is one lap of 5k whilst the standard race is 2 laps of 5K.
