The Weymouth Triathlon event will consist of three separate races:
- Sprint
- Classic
- Middle distance triathlon.
With race HQ based at Weymouth College, this is the ideal location for all of the family.
It is close to the Weymouth Sealife Centre and is within 500 meters of the very secure transition area, not to mention the beach.
There are plenty of facilities, café, toilets and parking all within a couple of hundred meters of your bike.
There is something for everyone at this event whether you are taking part or spectating, this one should be a must for your race diary.
The swim will be an open water affair in the beautiful blue waters of Weymouth Bay.
SWIM
Starting at 07:00, approximately 100 competitors at a time will start the race 15 minutes apart.
Open sea swim in Weymouth Bay in a 1 loop course around marker buoys.
We advise you to practice sea swimming before the event.
Safety craft will be in position and lifeguards are instructed to remove any competitor from the water who they consider in danger for whatever reason.
BIKE
The rolling cycle course will be a fast one for all three events with the route taking in some breathtaking scenery.
The bike route for the middle course will be taking place on mainly long flat'ish (as best we can do in Dorset!) roads.
RUN
The run will be a short blast around the Lodmoor nature reserve for the sprint and Classic and just ever so slightly longer for the half.
The course comprises four laps of Weymouth and Lodmoor. Finishing in the Weymouth College Car Park at the rear of Lodmoor Country Park.
There will be water/hydration stations approximately every 2/3 miles
