MyTriEvents won’t be hosting the Coniston Weekend activities in 2017 due to a number of reasons. The routes will be kept live and if you complete the challenge do drop us an email and we will add you to our wall of fame for 2017.
We hope to gain support for 2018 so if you know of any local companies looking to support a challenging event do get in touch.
Swim 1500m
A deep water start in the cool but clear waters of Coniston Water one of the Lake Districts most famous and scenic lakes. Competitors will complete one anti clockwise lap.
Split transition
Due to the nature of this event there is a split transition. Athletes are requested to put their running shoes in transition by the water then run onto the next field where their bikes are racked.
Bike 35km
After some consideration we have decided to keep the original bike route but add a compulsory dismount before making the road crossing into the field at the end of the cycle leg.
