Organiser's Description
A tough, mixed terrain half Iron Man distance triathlon in beautiful surroundings. The swim will be in the crystal clear Ullswater; the cycle ride takes in some legendary climbs; a trail run along the base of Barton Fell to finish. A fantastic course, possibly the most challenging in the Country. Also on offer is a 1/4 Iron distance race, with no major climbs but it is an extremely good bike route on fabulous roads with enough undulation to keep the climbers happy.
The challenging mostly off-road run was amended in 2019 and is now exactly 13.2 miles. The Quarter Iron run route is also challenging but beautiful. Both routes have spectacular views along Ullswater.
