A unique opportunity to race around the grounds of one of the North East's most scenic private schools. Following a swim in the 17.5 m length school pool you will ride your bike around the technical bike route of the main building perimeter (All the bollards etc will be removed for race day); then a cross country run around the fields to the rear. The event uses a split transition adding another dimension to the event.
Please note that we will request 'estimated swim time' in the entry process. This is the estimated time it will take to swim the distances for each age group in this specific triathlon. These are TSS-52.5m, T1-140m, T2-210m, T3-280m.
The event is part of The North East Region Junior Grand Prix and will be strictly subject to Gear Restrictions for TriStar 2s and TriStar 3s in line with all GP events. In 1900 a wall in the school was inscribed with a quotation from writings by John Ruskin: “That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.” That's our aim for the day - 100 happy kids!!!
