Maximum of 100 entries. Open to persons aged 15 years and over (as of 31/12/09)

Car-parking: There is plenty of car parking, however, do not use the car-park off of the A1016 as it is on the wrong side of the park. Follow the brown tourist road signs for “Hylands Park” (not Hylands House). Transition is now located in an new a grassed area for 2010, between the Start and Finish lines.

Registration and race briefing: Registration / Transition is open from 07.35am until 08.30 near the toilet block / parking area. Race briefing starts at 08.30 near to the transition. Race start is 8.45am. We will start the race in three waves in 3 minute intervals, depending upon numbers. Waves go in this order: 1-33, 34-66, 67-100. Marshal briefing at 08.15.

Bike racking: All the bike racking is numbered to correspond with individual race numbers. Please place your numbered sticker on your bike before entering transition. Helmets and bikes need to meet BTA standards. Visit www.britishtriathlon.org for the rules. Please keep your area tidy. AMENDED ROUTES WILL APPEAR HERE IN THE SUMMER (90% the same as previous years, new transition area means small tweaks at start/finish of each section.)

Finish: Congratulations, you made it! Stretch, cool down and relax.
Course records: Jez Cox 53:49 & Christine Mowles 01:06:23 (both 2009)

Important notice! If you get chance, please go the park with an O/S map and walk the whole route. The 2nd run section is very wide and easy to miss the signs and the bike route is tricky in the woodland section. NO SLICK TYRES ALLOWED! We reserve the right to stop you from taking part and no refund will be issued.

Miscellaneous: There are no showers on site. Do not enter the Stables or Garden areas of the Hyland House estate, unless you are going for tea and cake after the race!

Results and Prizes: Once we have collated all the results (which is time consuming, but we will endeavour to get them ready ASAP) the prizes will be given to the following categories at or to transition:-

1st, 2nd, 3rd for fastest open class males and females
1st for fastest veteran male and female (over 40s).
