Organiser's Description

This sprint duathlon is the perfect option for competitors who want to experience the thrill of the Snowman, without having to face the daunting swim in Llynnau Mymbyr. Competitors take on one of the most amazing cycle routes in Europe, in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, and a stunning run course. Part of the incredible Snowman weekend.
The Junior Aquathlon is located at Llynnau Mymbyr, with the stunning backdrop of Snowdon herself. This junior specific event has routes of varying length, for children ages from 8 to 16 years.
Open to those at 8 years of age (Tristart) there is a 50m open water swim followed by a 700 metre trail run. For those aged 9 - 16, a longer swim awaits!
To qualify for an age group, the childrens age must be valid as of 31st December 2018, not the age on race day.
