Venue

For the third time in the South West of England there will be an open water triathlon dedicated to women only. It will once again take place at Keynes Country Park, part of Britain's largest water park; the Cotswold Water Park and venue for the very popular Cotswold Sprint Triathlon. The Park's lake is usually used for swimming, canoeing, wind surfing and fishing. It is set in a beautifully landscaped area which has a children's beach and play areas, a beachfront café, volleyball courts and BBQ/picnic areas; a brilliant venue to bring all the family. There will be a trade village and refreshments on Saturday and Sunday, and T-shirt for all starters.

Keynes Country Park, The Cotswold Water Park, near Cirencester - three miles from the A419 (between Swindon and Cirencester). Entry fee to events include free parking and use of the park on Saturday for registration and Sunday (usually £4 per person).

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 Supper Sprint/Novice 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. With the 200m swim Novice Event ideal for the first time triathlete
