Notes :

Full race maps will be available later, final permissions and permits are being sought

Sea Swim:  It will be open water and tidal. We will expect competitors to be open water experienced and able to navigate and swim across a light tide. A Spring Tide is not the time to try your first sea swim!

Bike course: The course has changed to be loops of the sea front. It will be fast and flat but technical, especially if there is a ‘Southsea breeze’ on the day. There will be one U turn which competitors have to negotiate each lap.

Run Course : will be a 4 (Olympic) or 2 (Sprint)  lap circuit, crossing the Castle field each lap before the finish funnel experience.  Great spectator viewing and sure to keep runners on their toes.

Timings :       Registration / Bike Racking from 0630 – 0750 on the day.
