Taking place from the 19th to 21st February.
Brian Adcock from the Castle Series said "We were delighted with our first event Castle Virtual Series weekend of 2021 – The Arctic Monkey! This event saw competitors (aged 6 to 81 years old!) come together from Australia, France, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, New Zealand, USA and UK to run, walk, bike and yes even swim, across 23 race distances. Some athletes even braved snowy conditions and icy open water swims! It is great to be battling through the winter training and national lockdowns as a community, staying positive and motivated together. Now it is a new month and we’re focused on our next virtual race, The Polar Bear."
