2012 Course
We will be holding both a standard (Olympic) and sprint distance events.
- The swim is in the open sea within the very sheltered Portscatho bay.
- The bike is on public roads and the roads are not expected to be closed.
- The runs are a mixture of quiet road and coastal path.
The standard distance will start before the sprint, they will both share T1 at Porthcurnick
beach and T2 on the green in Gerrans.
T2 will not be at St. Anthony this year which should make setup and retrieval easier
for everyone.
Please find below the course details for each race
Links to maps for each section are available on the right hand side of this page.
