Route Description

From the start line close to the iconic Victorian Pier, your swim will head out into the Irish Sea for a circular swim. Once back on dry land, the bike section will take you around two laps of Marine Drive, circumnavigating the Great Orme, which is 2 miles long, 1 mile wide and rises 207 metres (679 feet) from the sea. The geology, wildlife, archaeology and landscape are of such importance that much of the headland has been designated a Special Area of Conservation, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Heritage Coast. Once the challenging ups and downs of the Orme are behind you, your run follows the line of the beach, and two laps along the famous promenade, lined with supporters for a hero's welcome back to the finish line!

Prizes

We hold a prize-giving ceremony after the racing; approximate timings will be detailed in the Final Instructions.
