Adventure Championships Savage 2023 Sandman Savage

The final part of the Adventure Championships and a fitting close - the Sandman has been described as the most beautiful triathlon in the race calendar.

The race starts and ends in one of Anglesey’s most treasured spots, the incredible Newborough Forest, an exclusive 700ha area of woodland adjacent to the world-famous Llanddwyn Beach.

One of the few Triathlons on the calendar with a beach start and sea swim, your supporters can build sandcastles and eat ice cream whilst you race!

On Saturday 'warm up' with the Sprint distance before setting off again on Sunday in the Standard.

Results for the Savage will be determined by the combined time of the two races. Entrants are also eligible for places and prizes in the individual events so as an Adventure Championships entrant you could podium up to FOUR times over the weekend!

Enter the Championship and this event is 50% cheaper than if you enter it as a stand-alone race.
