Organiser's Description

The Festival of Endurance promises another exhilarating and atmospheric celebration of ‘going long’ at the iconic and stunning Hever Castle. Loved by competitors and spectators alike the event is hailed the friendliest and most beautiful on the tri radar. The swim is in the main Hever Castle lake and a tributary of the River Eden; the cycle winds its way through the stunning High Weald of Kent and the Ashdown Forest; the run follows largely off-road tracks and bridle paths between Hever Castle and the historic local village of Chiddingstone. A further 3 challenges will be on offer for those looking for an opportunity to ‘go long’ on the sections of the Bastion course: Aquabike Challenge, Aquathlon Challenge, and the Hever Long Swim.
