Race Details
Swim:
It is a 375m swim lap that is done once for the super sprint (375m) and twice for the sprint (750m)
Bike:
It’s then a short but steep climb out and onto the over cliff coast road to the turn point at Hengistbury Head. For the super sprint, it is 1 lap (11.7km) and for the sprint, it is 2 laps (23.4km). 10mph speed limit on the promenade, please.
Run:
The run is as flat as a pancake and is a simple out and back along the seafront promenade again it is 1 lap (2.5km) for the Super Sprint and 2 Laps (5km) for the Sprint.
Chip Timing
Due to the new COVID rolling start, we are back to our old school ‘Dib’ (Sport Ident) chip timing system. Competitors will wear a timing chip on their wrist which they have to physically ‘dib’ into the electronic receiver on the entrance / exit to transition. This is different to the passive type of timing chip that is worn on the ankle and picked up automatically as the competitor travels over a timing mat. Staff will be on hand to assist at the timing points and will probably hold the receiver in their hand and grab your wrist and guide it in for you. You will have to ‘dib’ with the start staff for your rolling start. They will grab your hand and do it for you!
