Possibly the most Iconic Middle Distance Triathlon on the UK Calendar which should be on all triathletes bucket list, with a beautiful lake swim, an ‘epic’ bike course and a traffic-free park-based run.
The event starts with a 1.2 mile one-lap swim and takes place in the park lake.
The 60-mile bike course has now built a following of fans and ‘epic’ is the word! The quiet roads have excellent riding surfaces and the route tours the beautiful Brecon Moors before culminating with a sustained climb back to T2.
The final 13.1 mile run is a three-lap route around the lake and park – so it’s great for spectators!
