Duathlonstar

Starts next to the lake and involves a 5km (2 laps) run followed by a 20km (1 x 20km lap) cycle ride to finish with a repeat of the 5km run (2 laps), finishing back at the lake.

Transition

The spacious transition area is located on the bank of the lake with all races starting in the vicinity of the transition area.

Run

The first run starts next to transition and runs to the looped section of the course. Once the required amount of loops have been completed of the correct lapped course the run course returns to the finish. The distance of this out and back section has been taken into account of the overall distances. The course is mainly paths and grassland with some road footpath sections.

Cycle

The fast cycle course is mainly on rural roads, with one lap of the 20km course passing through Sible Hedingham, Blackmore End and Beazley End.

Run

The 2nd run exits transition and runs the same lopped section as previously. Once the required amount of loops have been completed of the correct lapped course the run course returns to the finish.

Racers who are not members of British Triathlon must purchase a 'day licence' at an additional cost of £6 to provide insurance for your event (this fee is automatically added if you do not provide a British Triathlon membership number on entering).

Contingency Plan - Due to the current climate it is understandably very difficult as a club to anticipate the restrictions in July. every effort will be made to put this event on where we reserve the right to alter, move the date and postpone as required. We would not normally offer refunds however if it is decided to do so these would be less the cost to the club for abortive fees, such as supplier deposits. The event is run by a local Triathlon Club rather than a business. In the event of part of the course being unavailable to the organiser on the day, for reasons beyond their control, an alternative course will be provided to allow a competitive event to take place. Should we be unable to provide a suitable safe alternative course due to reasons beyond our control and the event be cancelled Born2Tri will not provide refunds.

Withdrawal Policy - Born2Tri acknowledge racers will on occasion need to withdraw an entry through injury or other reason. The cut off dates for refunds will be 4 weeks prior to the race itself (5pm 2nd June 2023) where a refund will be made less a £10 administration fee. After this date there will be no refunds available.
