Organiser's description

This is a very challenging race, but a fabulous area and well worth the effort. A swim in Ullswater is followed by a cycle leg which includes the infamous 'Struggle' to the top of the Kirkstone Pass, and a run up (and down) Helvellyn – England's 3rd highest peak. One of the toughest triathlons in the World.
