General info
Booking fees and extra costs
There aren't any! As athlete we find it annoying when booking fees are a huge hidden chunk added in the basket and everything is an extra, parking, merch and anything else. The fee you see is the fee you pay, it includes all your parking fees, card payments, taxes, finisher T-shirt and everything you need to race. The only exception is a BTF licence if you're not a BTF member but that's standard across all triathlon events.
The Swim
A special experience not swim in the lake at Burghley House. Adjacent to the main event hub, transition and everything that you need at the event. The lake has been opened especially for us to enjoy.
The Bike
The bike course utilises the road network around Burghley House in the Peterborough countryside. Athletes will complete laps depending on the distance raced.
The course is closed to all through traffic but we must allow access for residents and businesses trapped within the course (seems fair and reasonable). Although a closed road course athletes should ride within the Highway Code and be aware of cars accessing their property intermittently throughout the morning.
The Run
Through the fantastic Burghley estate. We've created a route full of interest. Athletes will run around the main parkland past Burghley House.
Transition and event site
Right in front of Burghley House in their impressive parkland. You'll struggle to find much more iconic locations to rack your bikes.
