The Swim
A special experience to 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 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
Most of the route is on tarmac roads within the Burghley estate. There are sections over slightly rougher sections but it's all good running surface and easy to navigate.

The event hub with food stands, registration and stall holders is adjacent to transition for your enjoyment and convenience.
