From the start line close to the iconic Victorian pier, your swim will head out into the Irish Sea at the warmest point of the year. Once back on dry land, the bike section will take you around two laps of Marine Drive, circumnavigating the Great Orme on this beautiful coastal road, which is closed to vehicles for the event. Your run follows the line of the beach, taking you down the promenade, lined with supporters for a hero's welcome back to the finish line!
In line with British Triathlon Federation rules you must be at least 15 years old to take part in this race.
