CENTURION TRIATHLON GREAT YARMOUTH

Swim: The event consists of a point to point 1km tidal swim along the beach. Wetsuits are not compulsory but are recommended.

Bike: The cycle course takes athletes North along the seafront before heading inland onto the scenic roads of the surrounding countryside. The Centurion course completes 3 laps of this spectacularly fast course before heading back to the seafront to complete the 84km course.

Run: Athletes will run out of Transition and complete 3 x 5km laps of the seafront promenade, providing great opportunities to be cheered on by spectators and supporters to complete the 15km run and hailed a hero as you charge through the finish line.

(Note that all courses are being developed in conjunction with guidance from Great Yarmouth Council and may be subject to change)

There will be an informal baggage drop area for you to leave any belongings within the transition area.

There will be toilets available.

Water will be provided on the run route and at the finish. Full info will be provided in the final details.

Please note that the swim is in the sea and will be more challenging than a typical open water or pool swim. Wetsuits are not compulsory but are recommended subject to British Triathlon temperature restrictions, though the sea at Great Yarmouth is unlikely to exceed the maximum temperature allowed for wetsuits.

Although we aren’t putting a time limit on the course, this bike course will include a managed junction as the route leaves town. This junction will allow athletes an unobstructed ride through for up to 45 minutes after the leader has passed. Any athletes more than 45 minutes behind the leader at this point will be allowed to continue, but have to obey the traffic lights at this junction. On the way back in to town this junction does not affect the route.

Registration opens from: 5:30am

Here you will receive your race number, timing chip and stickers for your bike and helmet plus a swimming hat.
