Course

A one-lap lake swim in clear water is followed by a fairly flat, one lap ride on quiet country roads before departing for a two lap, traffic free run on paths around the lake (The Novice/Youth event does one lap). The event and its venue are ideal for those moving from pool swim events to open water and provide a great stepping-stone to the Standard distance.

Prizes

There will be prizes for the top finisher in each five-year age group, plus prizes to the first age group male and female overall, and first Relay Team. Prizes are also awarded for first male and female overall and first youths in the Novice Event. Elites will be awarded prize money and products.

Results

Chip Timing and finish Line screen. All results will be posted on this website immediately after the event.

Accommodation

There will be camping on-site with toilet and shower facilities for a small fee. To book a pitch please ring 01285 861202. Alternatively, phone Cotswold Tourism on 01285 654180 for local B&Bs or hotels.
