Meeting point
Popular sailing and outdoor sports venue with easy access from A14 and A12. Fantastic setting on the Shotley peninsula with the spectacular Royal Hospital School as the backdrop for the start. Proven open water swimming venue, cycle is on quiet country roads (but not closed), and run leg is a mixture of off-road, and paved surface.
