Swanage Triathlon Festival
Swanage, Dorset
Sandpit Field, Swanage, BH19 1NRSun 3rd July 2022
Starting at 06:00
Organiser's Description
The open water swim is within Swanage Bay where if the water's are clear, you may be able to spot some great sea life.
The bike section is not for the faint hearted as includes several hill climbs but when you go up, you must come down including a great descent on Kingston Hill!
The run heads North out of Swanage Town and up onto Ballard Down Ridge, an area of chalk downland on the Purbeck Hills.
The routes are challenging but the views are worth it, we promise!
With this many options, its the perfect club getaway weekend where there is something for everyone.
Swanage is wonderful little seaside town with a whole lot for the family to do. This is a true weekend away that happens to involve Triathlon!
