Swim (1500m) (Open Water)

Three laps of the crystal clear waters of Capernwray Dive Centre Quarry. The Quarry is one of the best open water swimming venues in the North West. The water is warmer than many open water venues and very sheltered from the wind an ideal venue for your first open water dip.

Bike (40km) (2 lap)

The course is two laps passing through Over Kellet, Arkholme and Capernwray. Good quality minor roads with some gentle climbs and nice descents.

Run (10km) (canal path)

The run course is flat and easy to follow, running alongside the canal for most of its distance. The only decision is what footwear as on a wet day the canal path is slippery. Drink station at 3.5km and 6.5km.
