Event information
FOOT PHASE A short undulating run on grass and a little pavement around the truffle field and chicken farm at Penllyn Estate will warm you up for the adventure ahead.
CYCLING PHASES The cycling is on hard and soft-packed trails. There will be some ascent and descent on small stoney tracks and grass, and if wet, it’s likely to be very muddy in places – It will be an adventure! There will be a small section of road.
KAYAKING PHASE The kayaking phase will be around four buoys in the lake. There will be plenty of water safety, and we will offer support and instruction if required. All kayaks and kayaking equipment is provided. For this event, the kayaking phase will be midway around the bike course, so we will have a small transition area for you to leave your bikes.
FOOT NAVIGATION PHASE Straight after the kayak, you will be given a map featuring five checkpoints. All you need to do is find them! If you choose to race competitively, there will be time penalties for any checkpoints not found. You will then get back onto your bike to finish off the rest of the course.
