Starting with a spectacular jump from the end of Eastbourne’s historic pier, IronBourne has been described by competitors as a must-do ‘bucket list’ event. In 2022, the best age-group triathletes in the country will be battling to be crowned National Middle-Distance Champions.
There is no specific parking location for the event, but there is plenty of on-street parking on the roads in the area. You may need to walk around 1km so plan to arrive early to give yourself time to find a parking space and walk from your car to the race venue at the Western Lawns.
The full Postcode of the event is BN21 4EH.
