Ampleforth College is hosting this
exciting event which will open the UKMtbTri series for 2010.
The event is an ideal introduction to off road triathlon or a good early season warm up race for more experienced on and off road athletes.
The course is completly contained
within the Ampleforth estate providing a beautiful backdrop to
this challenging course. The swim will be held in the college
pool with 4 athletes per lane at each time slot. Starts will be
staggered over 2 hours allowing only 144 slots so get entries
in quickly as we expect the race to fill. The Mountain bike ride
exits the college playing fields via a closed private road into
the estates own woodland taking a single loop around the woods
with a mixture of forest roads and single track with some hard
climbing and fast descents. The run is around the playing fields
and finishes up a steep bank outside the sports centre.
You can enter events individually
for £35/£40 depending on Triathlon England license or the whole
4 race series for £120/£140.
