This Event is now closed for entry

To plug a gap in the race schedule as there are no open water races in the region before Nottingham Sprint Tri (European Qualifier), Outlaw Half or Lisbon European Champs. Designed to be just over a week in advance and short enough to be a great last blast.

400m Open water Swim in Ladyburn Lake. If you are not out the water in less than 10 min, you will be pulled out the water due to the cold.

10km bike ride to Widdrington Roundabout and back

2.6km run (1 lap of the lake)

Please be aware, we are not taking entries from beginners in this race due to the cold water. Being slow on the bike or run is not a problem.

It is not just the temperature of the water that is a factor. A swimmer may well be able to stay in the water longer than 10 min with no ill effects but to get straight on the bike afterwards will be very, very cold. Competitor safety has to be out utmost concern.
